This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4zXnXL

I got all the parts a month ago but the motherboard was defective and I just got it back today. I dont want to drive like 30 mins to get thermal paste so is the default one good? Gonna be doing heavy gaming/recording/streaming.

I don't recommend it if you are going to be stressing the CPU. You can probably use it until you can get some thermal paste, though.

Put it on and check temps. If they are good, then you should be fine for until you get some TIM. But I suggest you order some and put on your Dark Night sooner rather than later.
