I have no particular plans to overclock at the moment; if the desire strikes, would it be sensible to purchase an aftermarket cooler at that time?

don't even worry about it, these CPUs can OC to 4.5 with stock cooler in a lot of cases, you can easily run 4 without even trying.

Won't the CPU run quite hot? I think it's better to buy an aftermarket cooler if one plans to overclock in the future.

Plus what's the point of buying a "k" processor if you don't want to overclock. Might as well get a 2500 then.

None, but he did say he may do so...
