Which one should I get?

~$190 no tax
or
i5 3450 IB

I'm not going to be OC'ing

This will be for gaming

Also, for this build, would I need the CPU cooler? Or would I be fine with just the stock heat sink?

Added a few things, thanks in advance

Personally I think you should get the IB CPU, since it's faster than SB by a little bit, and you're not going to do overclocking. A heatsink isn't required but I would recommend as those stock CPU coolers are known to get a bit loud, your choice of the 212 Evo is great, so you're covered there

Good luck
