3600x is a faster CPU for virtually all tasks, that is, as long as you don't utilize all 16 threads provided by 2700x. And even then difference is small.

Wraith Spire cooler is not so bad as many perceive it; it is good enough for gaming and most regular tasks, as long as your case is properly ventilated. If you are into prolonged rendering tasks or even overclocking, you have plenty of good and cheap aftermarket coolers at your disposal.

This one has just been reviewed and looks like a real deal for $40:
