I want to get the i5 4690K and overclock it in my new build but I'm not sure whether I'll need to get an aftermarket cooler or will the stock cooler be enough?

A stock cooler won't be good for much. You'll have high temps and low performance. I'd really recommend getting a liquid cooler if you want to Overclock. Lots of people like the Kraken, But I have the Deepcool Gamerstorm and it works wonders. The radiator comes in three sizes as well: 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm, all by 120mm. I have the 360 and I never get temps over 50C, but the radiator choice is really dependent on what will fit in your case. Here's a link to the 360:
