Considering you're not overclocking, a hyper 212 evo seems like your best option.

The stock cooler should be perfectly fine since this processor can't be overclocked.

 

If you just want a different cooler then a Hyper 212 EVO would be good.

stock cooler, no need for an upgrade.

Stock would run fine but it can get noisy at times.
