the boxed cpus come with heatsinks which are fine. intel chips run super cool. my E7200 right now is actually running without a fan because the quiet fan control on the motherboard says its cool enough to run with the fan off, sometimes it goes up to 500RPM, but thats still nothing.
if you want a nicer heatsink there are plenty of options out there. i dont know too much about AMD motherboards, but the phenom 8450 should be pretty good, try the 7750 if you want to save a bit of money as well.
if you want intel id reccomend the E7200, or an E2200.
i like to keep processors cheap, under $100-135, that generally returns the best value in my experience, especially with the way AMDs are priced and the way Intels overclock.
