ok im about to order parts for my 1st ever build. how necessary is it to have a aftermarket cooler? i will either be getting a AMD FX-8320 or Intel Core i5-4690K. will the stock fan that comes with it keep it cool? or should i just get a aftermarket fan/liquid cooling fan now? i will be playing games like H1Z1,GTA,CS:Go ect. thanks for the help.
 
It might because the stock cooler is designed for "Everyday" use,
Which is what they mean for my grandma in her basement surfing internet explorer.
But don't worry to much, Just don't go overclocking.
You can game on the stock cooler just keep an eye on CPU temps.
 
You can use the stock cooler, of course. But dont overclock with it, and maybe in heavy games the CPU temps go high.

If you want a cheap and good aftermarket cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. It's about 25$.
