I am currently using this case with its three stock case fans:

I have a 3570k in my system with stock cooler and I'm about to purchase a GTX 660 ti.

This card should shoot out most of the air out the case.


Now, am I fine with using the stock cooler on my CPU or is it a requirement to have an aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master 212? I'm not planning to overclock as I am new to computer building.

MAybe in the future.

Do I need any more fans or am I okay with running the three fans that my case came with?

You will be completely fine with the standard cpu cooler if you're not planning to overclock, I wouldn't bother wasting time and money on an aftermarket cpu cooler.

Yeah I wouldn't bother mate unless you're going to overclock it.

The case fans will be sufficient to cool, I say sufficient because they won't be optimal but they will be enough to keep the rig cool, at least enough to enjoy gaming and standard use.
