quick one, ...
Iv'e got these toys in my new PC:
MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING TWIN FROZR V OC 4GB GDDR5
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHz Dual Channel RAM
256G SSD HD
3TB WD Green HD
ARCTIC Freezer 13 - 200 Watt Multicompatible Low Noise CPU Cooler

the processor is Intel Core i5 i5-4690K CPU (Quad Core 3.5GHz

I'm waiting on a CPU cooler but do i really need one if i'm not planning to overclock in the near future?????
just want to go ahead and build so will the stock cooler that is shipped with the CPU be adequate for the time being ...maybe in the future i will want to squeeze more from it' but at the moment i have no plans for OC

your thoughts please

Stock cooler will be fine at stock speeds... assuming you have some airflow in the case of course.
 
also have this case
Antec VSP-5000 2x USB 3.0 Sound Proofed Midi Tower Chassis with 3x Fan and Controller

it has some cooling built in so should be ok
 
Weird. Stulid literally just pointed me in the direction of that case. a lot of case for the money I must say!

Two fans intake in the front and the rear as exhaust, yah? You'll be fine. And it should be a fairly quiet system too as long as you're not running the fans at full whack.
