When I build my PC I will most likely put in an FX-8320 or an 8350. The main reason I am torn between the two is that I would love to overclock the 8320 with a hyper 212 evo, but I have no idea how because I'm still a noob. And is an aftermarket cooler even worth if I get the 8350 and don't overclock? If so give me some suggestions please.

Also if you like dubstep like me, check out Skorge on youtube!

I would highly recommend the Hyper 212 Evo as long as it will fit inside of your case. It has fantastic cooling ability at a great price. I would also absolutely not overclock on the stock cooler. They are designed to cool the CPU at the stock settings, not something that is above that range.

yes, get one especially if ur running AMD as they tend to get hotter than Intel cpus.

If u want a liquid cooler the corsair h80i is a good choice, if you want a cheaper liquid cooler, the CM Seidon 120M would be also good
If u want an air cooler, the CM Hyper212 Evo will serve you well, but i will warn you, if ur case isn't wide enough, you might run into some clearance issues
