Add an SSD.  Like a 250GB 850 EVO and get a WD blue instead of Black.

You're gonna want an aftermarket cooler, be sure that you don't tighten it down a ton, just enough to keep it secure.

eh, the stock is fine, although a bit on the loud side.

 

as for the mentions of an ssd: yeah, thats a consideration.

If you look at the link i posted after, I actually got an 850 evo :)

You got an 840 evo for double the price of an 850 EVO.

Do you think I should get a cooler? I mean I got a locked processor so I won't be overclocking or anything... Although I am a little skeptical on the thermals that the 390x will produce. I could invest in a 212 evo or something like that, but do you think I'd be okay without it?

Last I had heard, skylake doesn't come with a stock cooler.

the k parts dont, the non-k parts do.

 

because yes, a stock on a k part is a joke.

Eh they were pretty much complimentary, as it's not like skylake k models had lower launch prices due to having no cooler.
