Yes, you need a CPU cooler, but as long as your processor is a retail version (as opposed to OEM), then is will come with a stock CPU heat sink/fan assembly. This will do just fine for stock or low level overclocking.

FX CHIPS run very hot and the stock HSF is poor i would get an aftermarket cooler.

the changes id say you can make is reduce the psu size to 520-550w and use the 200R if avaliable as it is about the same case but cheaper

id suggest a ssd as well

the stock cooler will allow some basic overclocking, but if you want some serious gains in performance and temps, go get a proper heatsink

Since it's your first rig, what resolution monitor are you purchasing? Having mid to high end components for gaming are not well utilized if you plan on playing on low resolutions.

Get a cheaper case, 200r like above poster said.
Get a 500w power supply
Buy CM 212 Hyper Evo.

It's a 1920 x 1080.
