Will the stock heatsink be enough? If not then should I get a better heatsink, or more fans for the case? I'm willing to pay a bit more for the cooling in my build to be able to overclock safely.

One of our builds has the HAF 932 and it is a great case for air flow. The stock heatsink will be ok only for normal internet applications such as email and word processing. For gaming you certainly should use a heatsink such as the Hyper 212 EVO (we have that on our i7 3770K) - works great. Gaming applications.

If you're overclocking, you almost always want a non-stock cooler. The HAF's have excellent airflow, but to be safe, get a cooler. As Ubrales said, the hyper 212 is good. There are pretty good air-based coolers out there too. Check out overclockers. net to see what they recommend as well.

The CM Hyper 212 EVO is on sale now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

We used Arctic Silver 5 to install the heatsink to the CPU (per directions at Arctic Silver's website).

On the i7 3770 K, the idle temps are around 34 degs C, and the gaming temps are below 68 degs C (ambient 22 degs C). CPU overclocked to 4.6 GHz.
