Mainly FPS games like CS:GO, Battlefield, C.O.D., and Probably GTA 5

i3s don't need aftermarket coolers for the most part. You will be perfectly fine even if pushing it to the max.

Ok, I'd say, save up for an i5. Modern games like quad core CPUs.

Sorry about this but do i5 and i7 need aftermarket coolers?

Just use the stock cooler.

No, they don't need it. It's just better to have one as the CPU will stay cooler which may extend the CPU's lifetime. You will only need an aftermarket CPU cooler if you want to overclock.

 

I have an i5 4590 at stock speeds with a Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO on it. Max temp was 50 degrees C, while under 100% load.

The i5 4460 doesn't need one but the 4590, 4690 and etc benefit a decent bit.

i7s actually overheat on the stock cooler *cough* 4790 *cough* so they aren't worth in this case.

the i3 is honestly more than fine for your needs.

Okay, Thanks for your help

depends on the model of the i5 or i7, if its a K version which means it can overclock than yes, you can benefit from an aftermarket cooler but for non k cpus like your i3 its not really gonna give you better performance except for lower temps and less noise.
