Hey guys, I'm building a desktop that's meant for some heavy gaming and after some thought I've decided to get a Intel Core i5 6400 2,7Ghz paired with a Msi GTX1060 OC 6GB GDDR5 for some gaming. My question is, do you think that for those two I would need to get also a fan cooler or is the stock cooling good enough to keep them cool even during the hot summer days (which reach 40Cº) at least for now? This is important to me because my previous computer ( it was a laptop to be fair) died from overheating. So do you think the stock cooling in the system would be enough for some heavy gaming? And by heavy I mean DayZ Standalone and Battlefield 1 in 1080p. Thanks in advance!

PS: Ask away if I let any important information out. I am a complete noobie to this ^.^!! And I don't want any suggestions for other parts, I just want to know if the stock cooling on these is good enough :) Again, thanks in advance! :D

Ok so if you looking to keep stock values on that cpu, you should be fine with stock cooler. If you want to overclock anytime in near future get aftermarket one. Does not have to be water cooled or any expensive air cooled. There are some cheap air cooled heatsinks that do the job and do it good. Let me know if you need recommendation for after market cooler. The gpu cooler is just fine so odnt bother doing anything with that.

The cooling on the GPU will handle it just fine so don't be looking into aftermarket coolers for it.

The CPU will be loud at stock but it's a non-k processor so it shouldn't be putting out more heat than acceptable provided the case cooling is fine. If you are looking at getting a better cooler to reduce noise, I would advise the Hyper 212 Evo. Simple and effective.

Thank you so much man :) Since I don't plan to overclock any of the two, I guess I'll just go with the stock cooling for now! :D Thank you again for your availabilty! I shouldn't need further help for now :D
