Corsair H105 Watercooler or a second monitor

After recently ordering my new pc, I am currently planning a trip to microcenter to get the last couple parts, so, should I pick up a corsair h105 while im there or add a second monitor to my setup. Thanks for your time :)

Can I have system specs? If you don't overclock, I don't think you need a watercooler.

For a more immersive gaming experience I would recommend the second monitor. You wouldn't need an AIO cooler if your not planning to do more than a slight overclock.

Well, it's really up to you. Dual monitors is always fun, but stock coolers will do the job just fine without overclock.

Dual monitors are great for productivity, but not really efficient for gaming. I currently use a crappy 19in 1080p tv I have on my desk as a second monitor and that is perfect for what you actually need for a productivity second monitor.
