Okay so I understand I can do this myself, But I have been making many errors on my 2nd PC build ever. and really think I would rather be safe than sorry so i will just ask.

Here is my case - http://www.sentey.com/en/kron-gs-6005/

Here is my Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131836

Here is my Processor - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-2600-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004EBUXSU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453861603&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=i7+1155&psc=1

I wanna get a aftermarket Cooler that is going to fit my case

thanks

According to the case's specs, the "CPU Cooler Max. Size =150mm". That leaves out the go-to cooler; the 212 EVO. But that m/b will not accept much if any OC'ing. And the CPU has a locked multiplier. So why the aftermarket cooler? The stock cooler too noisy?

I just plan to stream first person games and leave the PC on for quite long periods at a time. I was just worried that the stock would not be keeping it cool enough, but if you think it will, I can keep the stock, i just get worried about it sometimes.

Unless you live in extremely hot climes, or have poor air flow in the case, the stock cooler is guaranteed by Intel to keep the CPU cool at stock clocks. But if you are the worrying type, this cooler is a good aftermarket cooler to replace the stock cooler. It is short enough to fit the room in the case and attaches with the same push-pin arrangement as the stock cooler.
