Stock cooler is not worth keeping. These 8350's clock well if you can control the heat. Even a £30 air cooler will do and will give you enough cooling to achieve a clock that will on par or beat the value of the premium of going 8350 over an 8320.
Temps are a bit on the high side but its fairly normal for stock cooler as nkata says. If you play intensive games for extended periods of time or use the pc for anything that keeps it under constant load, i would not feel comfortable keeping it with the stock cooler. A bit of dust after a few months and an extended BF4 session could see your CPU hitting temps which are considered unsafe for normal use, not enough to break anything but might be enough to cause throttling or reduce lifespan.

Depends, what is the rooms ambient temp?
Stock cooler is fine for stock clocks, imho.

As I understand AMD stock coolers are quite a bit worse than Intel ones, definitely shed the £20-£30 for an aftermarket cooler, can get the most out of that CPU

The stock cooler is only good enough as long as power management is turned on to enable it to throttle to stop itself cooking. So not sure if I would be happy with that.
Stress test a 8 core chip with APM turned off on a stock cooler and the temps will get stupid very quickly.

66-68C is probably OK, my 8350 started throttling at 70-71C. But not for extended periods. I expect it is noisy at that.
I have only used a thermalright ultra extreme (TRUE) heatsink or a Phanteks 140mm on mine before watercooling it. The heatsink recommended will also depend on the height available in the case
