Not including a mouse (which will be included with one of my purchases), a key-board which I'm still searching for with a bundle with a mouse hopefully, and a monitor which I've found. A cheap $79.99 "18.5 but recommended 1366 x 768p; just wondering do I really need the cooler master hyper 212 evo? with everything I have here I'm around $940 so cutting the cooler master would be money saving like $50. I know I can do 1980 x 1080p graphics but I need to keep a budget of $900 and after I've payed off all of this I'll THEN start saving for a new desktop (perfferably a $150 monitor). With that being said if you could please answer my comments that'd be amazing! Thank you!!

If you are running a "K" chip and overclocking, you can use the stock cooler.

I'm not overclocking and I'm not using a k chip ( i don't know what a k chip is..) so is it safe to say I don't need one? And by safe I mean my computer will not over-heat and become a electric sauna...lol.

it is ten dollars more...but it makes life easier when the Hard drive rack faces out...plus you can remove the middle rack for better airflow if not using it

The K in you chip ie i5 2400k means it is unlocked. you dont need to oc that thing anyways.

Since your not overclocking, I would give the stock cooler a try...it should do the trick

 

[shell shocke]

do I really need it? because I'm on a budget. By that I mean is it really necessary for my system.
if I don't have it will it be louder and hotter by a lot?...

you gave me the link for the case, I was talking about the cooler master hyper 212 evo. Just wondering. and jsc said if i was over clocking I can use it doesn't sound to me if I didn't have it my system would fry or anything..
