So I'm getting an FX 8350 + Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0, would it be worth getting the cooler right now even though I don't plan on overclocking for quite a while?

No, a cpu cooler isn't necessary , stick with the stock one as it's desgined to keep the cpu cool when it's not overclcoked and if the cpu gets too hot, just get a evo 212 :)

The main reason to get a better cooler if you are not overclocking is to lower noise levels. The stock FX-8350 cooler is known for being a bit loud so that might be a reason to get a better cooler.

i ran with the stock cooler on my 8320 at 4.2 for two months while i saved money for my waterloop, its fine if you have a good case to quiet the noise down, plus most gamers wear headsets while they play anyways

Just FYI, it doesnt matter if you have led or not, fan's rpm makes the "sound"

for example 1000rpm fans are very silent and 2000rpm fans are near jet engine :D

it all depends on the type of fans and its fins

All my fans are running at 1500RPM and are all Zalman Stock fans, they're not loud enough to annoy me though :p  Even at 2000RPM it doesn't bother me
