Hello! I am going to build my first ever PC. The CPU I chose is the amd fx 6300. i want to use the stock cooler. will it be alright for gaming? i will not be overclocking what so ever. I won't mind the noise. note: i will be playing all games on this PC so I assume more cpu intensive games will cause more heat. but will it still be alright? I also usually listen to music when playing games idk if that'll affect it much.
Specs: Amd fx 6300, stock cooler, gtx 960, corsair vengeance 8gb ram (2x4gb sticks), 500w power supply, Asus m5a78L motherboard, silverstone ps08 case

Thanks! :D

There is smaller low profile heat sinks. And if your case is that small, then the heat is going to be worse with the stock cooler. It won't damage it, if it gets too hot, it will slow itself, and your games and everything else.
