I am building a Gaming PC and was just wondering if i could just stick with the stock CPU cooler with these components instead of buying a good one. Note i won't be over clocking but will be playing games on it like Battlefield 4 etc. Thank you in advance.

If the additional cost is not a big deal, CM 212 is a good replacement for stock cooler. However, if you are for sure not going to OC, you may not really feel the difference. At least it maybe tad quieter? I have CM 212 Plus, slightly older than EVO, and satisfied with it for the last 4 years on two different systems, when I run HWMonitor to check actual temperature. Other than that, performance wise, there is no tangible difference. If you may OC sometime later, definitely this will help, though, especially because you have unlocked CPU.

I disagree here. Stock intel coolers work well and are pretty quiet for CPU's at default speed. the fans on your video card will be louder.

Stock AMD air coolers are pretty sad, however.
