If you plan on using an i3 or lower then there is no need for an aftermarket cooler. If its truly a HTPC then i see no reason to go with an i5 or i7. Stock cooler works fine.

i was considering just going with an i3 cpu for the same reasons as u said and would the stock cpu fit in the case and would it be quite becuase the system will problie be on 24/7

If you are on a strict budget go for the Pentium G3258 & Cooler Master GeminII S524 combination, as this is going to be a multimedia one & the G3258 does all great overclocking capabilities in case you wanna try it in future ... ! just my thought

Normally, you use a aftermarket cooler if you have a hot cpu or are overclocking.
In this case, a good dual core is sufficient for your application.
I might suggest a i3-4330. It is a lowish power 54w cpu with good integrated graphics.

Integrated graphics can benefit from faster ram; I suggest 1.5v DDR3 1866 ram, probably a 2 x 4gb kit.
The stock Intel cooler is usually plenty. Only under very heavy loads will it spin up enough to be noisy.
The space available is 100mm. You could read this web site and look for one of the better low profile coolers.
Look for one with a fan larger than 92mm.

Unless I am mistaken, your motherboard supports a M.2 ssd, not mSATA.
If you will use it for the "C" drive, look for 128gb at least. 80gb will fill up too quickly.
