If I order an AMD CPU will it come with the stock fan?

Solution
As long as you buy it in that box, not some OEM processor, it will have one. It is a sub-par cooler though. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a coolermater hyper 212 plus or evo cooler instead.

True but its not like I will be overclocking so I don't think I will be needing it however, I probably will end up buying one hen I have saved up some more money to afford it. But is it really necessary to buy it straight away? I'm not be sarcastic I'm just wondering. Also since this is my first gaming pc I'm just going for the bare necessities.
 
+1. It comes with a 92mm fan which is noisy and the heatsink is pretty terrible.

Spend an extra 30 bucks and get the hyper 212 as stated above

Actually i take that back i thought it was the 6 or 8 core. The heatsink with the quad is ok if you arent going to over clock . Honestly. I would save the money to get the fx 6300 since on sale you can get it for 100 and it will be much quicker. Also the memory you chose will be only running in single channel. Its not terrible but i would recommend on a budget getting 2x2gb sticks for dual channel for about the same price
 
If you dont plan to OC, it is still worth while. My cooler for my Phenom II was hitting 60C under load, which was higher than you want. It also sounded like a jet engine in my PC. If sound isnt an issue, the stock is fine. But it became so loud I replaced it with the EVO and dropped my temps 30C, and dropped my RPMs 4k. Then I decided to OC, as never planning to, up from 3.4 to 4.1.

60C core temperature is perfectly fine. Even 70C is still ok since there should be no damage until somewhere over 92C. People are getting TCaseMax (65-75C depending on model) confused with TJMax. (92-105C)

If your TJ is 60C, TCase will necessarily be much lower than that.
