I´m building a new gaming PC. Games I plan to play: BF3, Black Ops, PlanetSide 2, FIFA 15, and more. I wanted to know if another cooler is required for this CPU (Athlon X4 760K) to avoid high noise and performance issues.

If needed, please recommend me CPU coolers.

Thanks.

Even when stressed out, the stock cooler will be sufficient for the processor at stock speeds. But if you intend to OC the CPU, be sure to get an aftermarket cooler.
However, the fan will speed up as it needs more cooling. Depending on your threshold for noise, you may find the stock cooler disturbing.
