Sooo...in a recent previous thread i was asking whether the intel stock cooler would be enough to handle an intel i5 4460 and a geforce gtx750ti.
People say it was enough..but my friend says do NOT use the stock cooler at all since im having the gtx750ti. He said a cooling system, ANY cooling system, will be better than the stock cooler. So i found this $33 Cryorig H7..Is it any good?
And could you recommend any other cheaper cooling systems. I wont be overclocking and will be using the PC for gaming. Preferably under $20 xD...smth liek dat

oh your friend was good, but he missed a point. never is the wrong word. the stock cooler should handle a 4460 on gaming load fine. there should be a copper base and fins that easily support it.
also your friend was wrong when he said that the 750ti affected the CPU cooling. it doesn't at all in fact. or could be when you have an aftermarket design and pumps air into he case, but that doesn't really affect tit.

if you want superior temps, then the H7 will still greatly outperform the stock. if you want to put the money into it, sure. but if you really want the money for other things, I recommend you don't. its not 100% needed

The stock cooler will work just fine in most cases. With an aftermarket cooler like the H7(which is a good budget cooler btw) is make it run cooler and will be a bit quieter than the stock cooler when the cpu is under load as the stock coolers can get a bit load when the fan ramps up. IF the system will be running in a room with a high ambient temp then you might need and aftermarket cooler. If this is the same friend who said a Corsair VS550 was a good PSU you may want to start taking his advise with a grain of salt.
