I'm gunna buy an i5, just wondering if they come with it's own cooler or do I have to buy one?

They do come with a stock cooler as far as I know, But you're probably better off getting an after market one

If you buy the retail version then yes you get a cooler.
If you buy the OEM version then no.

After-market coolers are a lot better however.

This.

£30 will get you a very good aftermarket cooler though.

I'd only get an after market cooler if I was going to be Overclocking.

I prefer aftermarket coolers to stock. Much quieter and cooler too.
