The cpu will come with a standard heatsink and fan yes, but let's face it their stock and will do the job I guess, but I wouldn't be building a decent system like that and relying on an essentially free heatsink to do the job.

I'd go with a Corsair Hydro Series (Liquid) cooler. They are more expensive then air coolers (not all that hard to fit) but they are maintenance free (no need to change coolant) and will keep the cpu really cold, therefore it will last longer then usual.

They come in a variety of sizes, I've got the H100 see here: http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-coolin...pu-cooler.html

Full list of Liquid coolers here: http://www.corsair.com/cpu-cooling-k...pu-cooler.html

There are many other brands of course, eg: Thermaltake make them ect ect... I just like Corsair.

But you could easily use one of the smaller ones without a drama, they just basically attach to the cpu like a normal heatsink does, then you bolt the radiator to (depending on case) the top of the case, bottom, or back. You'll need to ensure the case you end up getting supports top/bottom mounted radiators (most if not all decent cases do) But it's going to be money well spent, and it's going to prolong the life of your cpu.

Now, Liquid and water cooling isn't for everyone and it can be a pain in the ass to install (at least the first time) so take a look at this list of decent air coolers.

If you decide on any of these, and choose a case let me know and I'll make sure it can support it if you like ok.
