Budget Conflictions while needing cooling

Hello all,

I'm working on my first PC build and I'm already at about 1200, and I have nothing but the stock fan that comes with the Intel processor.

Here is the link:

I also purchased a WD Performance drive for $69.00

(I just noticed this list is cheaper than what I paid for in retail even after tax. So going to see if I can have something done about that tomorrow.)

I'd like to know how I can drop the price of this build to accommodate cooling, or just drop it in general and even get better quality products while I'm at it.

I'm not into high/ultra graphics gaming if it costs too much in light of the performance and my wallet, though I do plan on doing some gaming starting with Space Engineers. I'd really like to have this build as something I could grow on for a few years to come. I welcome any suggestions and discourse on it, I know I'm not a pro or very knowledgeable even.

Any and all help is much appreciated. ^_^
 
Solution
If you're not planning to overclock for the time being, you can leave the stock CPU cooler.

If you do plan to OC, you can save up a little cash and buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for around $35.

Ohh cool. I'm just afraid to OC, with the heat and running parts at quicker speeds than what I'd think they were designed for. I don't want to end up frying anything. >.<
