CPU Cooler for i5-3450?

[Patflute]

I'm not sure if the stock cooler will be enough.

So I have a mATX H77 and a cooler master 430 with 2 fans. I obviously can't overclock so is there a point in a cpu cooler? I'd rather not spend over $20 on it. Will a CPU cooler at that price provide any noticeable difference compared to the stock one? Do I have to buy thermal paste?

I'll be playing games on a single 1080p monitor with a mid-range graphics card.

I live in Canada if you are suggesting one! I don't have the 3450 yet.

If you're not gonna overclock it, im sure the stock cooler one will work fine...

You cant overclock on an H77 board anyways, stick with the stock cooler unless its too noisy.
