How can we tell you if you need one or not without even knowing what are you doing with your PC. At 2k get a CM Hyper 212+.

No you donot need any cooler unless you Overclock.
Even if you watch a HD movie for 24 hours on your rig or play Crysis 2 @1080p for 10 hours together you will not need a Cooler. but I am not sure if your 8600 can handle Crysis 2 at 1080p :wink:

And Please dont type in Bold. Doesnt feel nice. Highlight important words with Bold

Why are you asking the same question OVER AND OVER AGAIN? Please stop it.
We have already said it a few times in this thread and many other threads that one doesnot need a Cpu cooler unless he wants to Overclock regardless of whether he buys a new graphic card or any other new pc component.

No you do not need a cooler. At least if you are planning not to overclock.
