    Do you plan to overclock? If not, then it really ain't needed, unless you just want something that looks better than the stock.

    Then I would go with the Tuniq Tower 120, I only hit 50c running 2 instances of prime 95.  I  notice almost no temperature rise when gaming.  I idle around 39-41c overclocked to 3.2GHz from 2.4, and that is with the fans at low speed.  I like my computer cool and quiet.

    Unless you:
    - want to OC
    - have a loud fan
    - have high temps

    it's not necessary to change the stock HSF. But if one of these things above is true, I would look out for a good HSF for a good price. The Scythe Ninja or the Arctic Freezer would be good.
