The stock cooler is typically fine for non-overclocked models. Definitely try it out first before buying an aftermarket, since generally it is sufficient.

Edit: Take a look at the Tom's 'Intel Temperature Guide'. Once the CPU is installed with the stock cooler keep an eye on your CPU temps the first few times you run intensive programs to make sure you're staying within healthy ranges.
