It's up to you if you want to buy an after market cooler for your CPU. Anything from Zalman is good.
As for the thermal paste, the C2D comes with a thermal pad so paste isn't necessary but some people suggest you take the pad off and put some Artic Silver 5 on.

If you are overclocking I strongly advise a aftermarket CPU cooler and some arctic silver 5
