One thing to make note of on the amazon reviews are complaints that the bundled wraith cooler is not powerful enough if you're relying on the graphics built into the CPU.. no idea if that's true for all people or not but if your PC case is big enough for a more powerful CPU cooler and you have the budget for it why not grab one just to be on the safe side?
I've been very happy with my "Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler,"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8
although it's a CPU cooler on the larger side so you'd want to check the measurements inside your PC case and make sure it will fit. Tom's hardware was very impressed with it , see their review at

If you go that route you'll need to grab some thermal paste and 90 percent rubbing alcohol / Isopropyl Alcohol (your local Walmart will have a bottle of 90 percent rubbing alcohol for four dollars for example) and, oddly enough, a pack of paper coffee filters (also cheap from your local Walmart for example) which apparently works well for rubbing thermal paste off if you make a mistake or if for whatever reason the CPU refuses to cooperate with the motherboard or gets damaged in the mail to the point where it's not working and you need to return it... in my case I grabbed the arctic MX-4
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
although I've realized since then the "new and improved" version arctic MX-6 is practically the same price .. one of those "doh" moments but my MX4 is working just fine as far as temp control in combatination with the peerless assassin cooler

If you do decide to take a chance on the bundled wraith stealth cooler , I've been told on tech support forums it's best to wipe off that thermal paste it comes with and apply an arctic thermal paste instead if nothing else because the arctic thermal paste makes it easier to remove the CPU cooler and replace it if necessary as opposed to the bundled thermal paste apparently being cement-like when dry making it harder to get the air cooler off .. pure conjecture here mind you I don't have a lot of experience popping air coolers off CPU's, just repeating what I've been told by heads wiser and more experienced than my own.

Xamindar if you don't know off the top of your head of course that's okay, I'm going to assume you're a busy guy with work and so forth who may not necessarily be paying attention to stuff like the games the kids are playing
.....but if you do know by any chance (say the kids were telling you enthusastically about how they kicked the opposing team's behinds on the game they were playing while you were driving them to school for example
Also do the kids play at 1080 resolution gaming or a higher resolution than that? (again if you know off the top of your head)
