Your stock cooler should have pre applied paste. You should be okay using that.
You only want to replace it if it gets really old or you put a new cooler on.
Also, if your are not getting expected temps.

Most Intel stock coolers already come with the thermal paste applied on the bottom.

Take a look at the bottom of the stock heatsink, you should see some grey rings or a grey area on the bottom (the grey is the thermal paste).

Charbel Bernaba :

Yes, if you don't plan on overclocking, stock coolers are fine for your CPU (otherwise manufacturers would constantly be having to reimburse people if the stock coolers weren't good enough).

Obviously, if you are gonna jack up your CPU then no, you need to get an aftermarket cooler.

I mean if i need to remove the thermal paste pre applies on my cpu fan cooler and get a new one for gaming

If you get a new heatsink you will need to completely clean off the old thermal paste from your CPU before applying new paste.

Most after-market heatsinks come with thermal paste as well, but if you need a recommendation on what paste to use I suggest the ARCTIC MX-4 which you can find here:
