You need one for a nice overclock, if that's something you're into. Or if you are trying to build a silent PC. Otherwise no, stock cooler is fine.

Only get one if you plan to overclock. With that PC of yours, I would recommend getting one and overclocking it. You do have a K series.

Ok if so, do you recommend any brands/type for my computer?
