Just get a hyper 212 in the future and some case fans. Will work fine for starters.

Honestly, try stock cooling first and see if you need anything more. If you do, just get a cheap cooler, anything would be quieter* and cooler than intel's stock.

 

*General opinion. I personally do not think the intel cooler is loud at all. I could not hear it, or the case fans over ambient noise. It is not exactly a 290 or 480 at 100% fan, it is a pretty standard 80mm PWM fan.

The stock CPU will do fine, but I do suggest get another case fan for that case in the front.

Stick with stock, they'll work just great. They are rated to work like that after all, so unless you overclock them or have HORRENDOUS airflow it'll work.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.
