Any modern CPU will need a cooler. If you mean an aftermarket cooler that depends on whether or not you plan to overclock it. If you don't overclock it an aftermarket CPU cooler isn't necessary but could help it run cooler and last longer. If you plan to overclock definitely get a different cooler.

I am going to overclock it. Maybe a cooler master hyper 212 evo

Yes, as a minimum the i7-4790k will need a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO if you want to overclock it.
