could you be a little more specific on what you want cooling, is it an after market CPU, are you asking if the whole system would need fans or water cooling? sorry to be a pain but cooling is a fairly big area

It depends what you want to do, if you want to utilise your overclockable processor, then it is a very good idea to get a cooler.
Which cooler you get will depend on your budget, but here are a few options.

Oh yea sorry. I was talking about the CPU or GPU. I'm building this myself (first time), and plan on gaming on it. The card comes factory overclocked.

Get the 212 it's a great fit.

provided the case is cooled properly then the gpu's tend to be ok if you leave them at factory spec, and for the CPU the hyper 212 linked above is great, if you are worried about the size then get the hyper TX3 which is a little smaller, also works great

Alright thanks everyone! I have an idea now
