Not sure if this belongs here.. but I apologize if it does not..
I was hoping to get some perspective on the importance of a CPU cooler.
I haven't assembled my computer yet but I recently purchased a i7 920 processor. I plan to use the computer for gaming and other normal everyday uses (school work/chatting/surfing the web etc.) As of right now I do not plan to overclock since I am fairly new the the computer scene however I am not opposed to learning and trying in the future.
With that said, I was wondering if a CPU cooler is an essential piece to building a computer OR if it is just preference/ what the person is planning on doing with the computer.
The two I have in mind are relatively cheap (under 40$) and I will probably at least get a cheap one either way. (Unless this thread provides additional information on whether I should or shouldn't.)
