Hello,
I'm building a new gaming pc and fell short a few dollars. I'm wondering if the intel stock cooler is enough till I get my h100i. I have everything else.

The i7 4790K stock cooler is not enough. Their a lot of information on the net on this the stock cooler is not enough for the processor to run at advertised speeds without throttling because of heat.
The i5 4690K stock cooler will get you by.

If you are doing Any overclocking in the mean time, NO
If you are doing any serious gaming, yes if you dont push the settings too high and keep an eye on your temps.
Get that cooler quick though
