Also, will I need a CPU cooler? The CPU came with a fan, although it is quite small. I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, just not sure if it is necessary to put it on.
so i assume you already have the build made? if so, why not just TEST it?
besides, your build is overkill for minecraft, something $200 less can max minecraft.

Never seen a tower cooler with preapplied compound.
