Is an aftermarket cooler recommended for i5-3570K, even if I'm not going to overclock it?

I'll have stock speed, 3.4GHz, which is enough for gaming. Do you yet recommend me to get an aftermarket cooler, and not use the stock one?

If you're not going to overclock it, save a bit of money and just go for an i5-3570. Then you'll certainly be okay on stock cooling.
