It is generally a good idea to get a better cooler than the stock cooler when using a 'k' processor.

Here's one of the best budget coolers on the market right now and will be able to keep your CPU at perfectly health temps:

CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.50 @ Newegg)
Total: $34.50
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Hello Didar1641,

What site will you purchase from?

Since anti-aliasing is almost entirely GPU-dependent, I don't think CPU heat is likely to be causing this particular problem.

You should check your CPU temperatures under load if you are concerned about them. Generally you are not going to overheat the CPU even with the stock cooler if you are not overclocking, but a reasonably priced aftermarket cooler is still not a bad investment and the one mentioned above is a good one.
