The all aluminum FX 6300 stock cooler is terrible for any purpose. This is not an exaggeration. I've worked with several.

Look at the FX 6350 instead. For the $20 more you get a faster CPU AND a copper base plate + heat pipe style cooler like the one the 8350 comes with. Much better than the 6300's cooler.

Probably if your case has decent or good air flow. But I would seriously think about replacing it with something better like the CM Hyper 212 EVO, Noctua NH-D14 or D15, or Phanteks PH-TC14PE if your case can fit them. These companies also make low profile fans that are pretty good and perform much better than stock coolers from AMD or Intel.

^ This ^ is also a good idea.

Just bear in mind, aftermarket coolers like those recommended above will be $30-$90 extra.
