Will the BULLDOZER QUAD CORE FX-4100 fan be sufficient?

[PC_Gamer]

I'll be ordering next Tuesday and am on a pretty tight budget. I was just wondering if it would be worth the extra £19 for the triple copper heatpipe? I'll be using the computer for general things internet, E-mail, IRC, very light gaming etc and I've heard that the cooler is very flimsy. Is there anybody that has any experience with the stock fan that could give me some info about the average temps of the cpu?

For stuff like internet, email etc the standard cooler should be fine, it'd be nicer to have the better one, but for what you are using it for, the standard one should be fine - noting that this does depend on what you count as 'light gaming' of course.

The occasional CS, TF2, Minecraft, and a few indie games.

The standard cooler is fine for doing whatever you want(gaming) at stock clock speeds, that's what it's designed for.

That's put my mind to ease. And I definitely won't be overclocking, thank you.
