Stock cooler is fine for you. You've got a locked CPU.

Your CPU will last at 3-4 years. I've got a i7 920 still running like a champ and it's 7 years old.

as long as you keep the dust out intel coolers arent too bad...

 

so i just saty with my current set up i dont need anything else like an sli cord or extra fan for the case.

 

all coolers i've seen so far come with decent thermal paste, but its always handy to have a tube on hand. (for when reseating the cooler for example)

Unless you get the 212 Evo from Cooler master, then no. It comes with the cooler.

Depends on the aftermarket cooler you get, for example the CM 212 Evo comes with a small tube should last you a few reseats if you ever need to perform any. Its always good to have a larger tube of thermal paste just in case. Some may come with pre-applied thermal paste.

Will the size of a room impact the performance of a space heater? Yes, yes it will. Transfer the heat from the CPU to the case and you'll have less of an improvement than if you transfer that heat outside the case. The 212 will help, but spend a little more and the improvement will be much greater.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
