I want to know if the ''Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor'' cpu cooler that it comes with is good enough and also if the ''Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler'' is good enough, if not...please recommend me a cpu cooler that is good enough

Ps: please don't exceed 1200 dollars

The stock cooler is adequate enough if you have good airflow in your case. I use the 212 EVO in a Define R5 case and temps never exceeds 60c degrees. I use two intake fans in the front, with the HDD cage removed for improved airflow. expect your temps to reach 70-75c degrees under load with the stock cooler (no OC). So I would definitely buy the 212 EVO to keep the temps at a more...

The stock cooler is designed to keep the cpu within specs at stock speeds. Not to say all users want these "within specs" temperatures.

Aftermarket coolers can bring the temperatures down(good for the cpu anyway) or keep comparable temperatures with much less noise(AMD coolers in my experience are louder than Intel coolers). If you have any plans for overclocking getting aftermarket is always recommended.

Another advantage to many aftermarket coolers is that they are more solidly mounted with bolts and a backplate.

I personally have not kept a stock cooler since the Athlon XP days(swapped it and never looked back.).
