what is the best from your experience? someone told me b4 tht amd processor always overheated with stock cooler .. it is true? thnks in advance

The stock cooler is fine for the 370k, wouldn't worry there.

And the AMD would be slightly better for gaming, because of the higher clock rates, but the Intel one would be slightly better for general computing. Depends what you'll be doing more, or where you want a little bit better performance.

If this is more gaming, get the AMD one

Yeah that would be ok, that's pretty much just a slower version of the other one.
