Should I get a CPU cooler?

I'm planning to build a machine with a Q6600 and overclock it to at least 3.2 gHz. Should I buy this cooler:

Here's my potential parts list:

Will that cooler fit into the CoolerMaster case on an Asus P5KC motherboard?

That cooler is excellent i have one myself, it will fit fine on the Asus board and the case.

Thanks Jamie (for this and all input so far). Are the CPU coolers easy to install? I know they void the processor warranty, and don't want to risk damaging the 6600 trying to install a cooler.

Also, should I buy additonal case fans (the case I'm ordering only comes with 2, although I'm still mildly considering upgrading to the Antec 900, despite it costing more than twice as much)? Are they easy to install? Do they come with all necessary hardware? Will they give advice on WHERE to place the fan in the case? Do I need to buy any thermal compound, or will it come with the cpu cooler?

Thanks again!

The Freezer7 will have very good (better than AS5) thermal paste on it.

I have the Antec 900 and it was $60 on newegg last week, i am not sure now though, its is one of the best gaming cases around and i doubt there is a better air cooling case around.
