I'm thinking about getting an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz. I do know that the stock fan and sink is usually not enough to keep these processors cool, however, would a stock sink and fan from an Intel Q6600 Quad-Core Processor work near or as good as an aftermarket cooler? I'm at the point where dollars are becoming important in my build. Thanks for the help.

As long as you aren't going to overclock it, the stock cooler is usually sufficient...
