Hello! Posting here for the first time. I'm planning to build a new PC soon, I'm doing this for the first time and I'm absolutely inexperienced, thus I'd like to ask for a few recommendations. Here is my build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 Box
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A
Video Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 STRIX-GTX970-DC2-4GD5
Memory: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 HX421C14FBK2/16
Storage: Western Digital 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s WD2003FZEX
Power Supply: SeaSonic G-750 750W
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 760T

I was told I don't need any aftermarket coolers other than stock coolers if I'm not overclocking. My questions are is it correct that I will be perfectly fine with stock coolers, and is my build any good, I want everything to be on approximately the same level so that I'm not wasting too much for an overpowered components as well as not installing something that is too weak and will screw up my build. I want my computer to run Battlefield 4, GTA 5, latest NFS's (and other stuff like that) on highest or near highest settings.
 
1) As long as you're not overclocking, which you can't anyway as your CPU is locked, you'll be fine. Intel wouldn't supply a cooler which isn't good enough.
2)Your build is great and using Skylake and DDR4 means you get a longer life span out of your build. Should be good for gaming at 1080p at highest settings

Enjoy!
