Just don't go for the Founders Edition, just pick another from MSI , EVGA, ASUS, etc.

The aftermarket coolers (like from ASUS, EVGA, etc) has better temperatures and better performance against the Founders. You only need to buy a founders if you want to put it on a water loop or you have a closed case (But i'm sure you don't have a closed case with that system 😛)
