Get an aftermarket heatsink, everything else should be fine

[OnekillWalter]

is this computer for gaming only? or will you do intensive task? because an i5-4690k with 8 gb of ram is plenty with. of course if you buy an unlocked CPU you need to get an aftermarket cooler, Air or AIO-liquid coolers. and with the money you save on getting and i5, get an SSD 128gb for OS. any brand but the Kingston V300.

I suggest just getting a few quiet fans to put around your system. I suggest one or two in the front and one in the back, but thats just my preference.

Well first off, what do you plan to do with this computer?

 

For the most part unless you want to overclock, stock coolers are fine, though if you want to overclock the i7 then get a 240/280mm aio water cooler or a decent quality air cooler such as the hyper 212 evo.

 

I'd also throw some fans such as the corsair airflow quiet edition fans in as intakes and exhausts for the case. (If using a radiator, use static pressure fans instead of airflow, same for getting air through restrictive drive cages)

Definitely get a aftermarket CPU cooler and aybe some case fans for extra cooling for the whole system and less dust build up if you can fit that in the budget.

Like the others have mentioned get a aftermarket CPU Cooler something like this Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan is a hell of a lot better then stock CPU cooler that comes with the CPU...This cooler is rated very highly among PC builders...

 

I almost forgot to mention this,if you get this or any other aftermarket cooler make double sure you have all the clearance you need so it will fit in your PC case..

I had an i5 in my orignal plan but then the price of the ram i was getting was so cheap that i upgraded because i heard its good for live streaming and gaming

i plan on live streaming, video editing and gaming on this PC

Will a heat sink be better for my system because it gives more stability when over clocking also will it fit in my case

AIO is too expensive but what about a/the heat sink or is the fan better

Most heat sinks should fit in your case. Just check the dimensions and clearance for your case and you should be fine

If you do overclocking you definitely need an aftermarket heat sink

do i need to over clock to play the newer games out there because if so then yes. but i wont h for video editing because i would rather extend my life span by not over clocking (because Linus said it will decrease the lifespan) then wait the extra 30 min.

yeah usually it boosts your hardware a tiny bit, which doesn't even matter in some games. I did it on my GPU just because im folding@home on weekdays during school. Having more RAM is better than having an overclocked CPU if your video editing. IF your just playing some casual games with friends I wouldn't do it.
