I'm preparing to build my own gaming pc. Here is the part list:

I was wondering whether I will need to buy a separate fan/cooling system/radiator for this build? I haven't decided if I'm going to overclock yet so that will need to be factored in.

If you have some extra money to spend I would recommend spending it on a Z97 motherboard and a i5 4690K / 4670K processor and run the stock cooler till your ready to overclock.
The faster clock speed and the ability to overclock in the future will get you a longer life from the processor before you need to upgrade.
Add a extra 140mm fan in the front of the case as intake and remove the center drive bay for good air flow.
