So long as you’re using the spinning rust hdds, the noise of the CPU cooler won’t make much difference. Mind you, this PC will be a bit too loud for the living room like this.

Follow up question: Do I need a separate CPU cooler, or is the boxed Wraith enough? And how loud is it? I can’t really find info on that.

Wraith is fine. I have mine installed and it’s dead quiet. If you don’t like the noise, you can always get a 15-25$ USD aftermarket cooler, brands like ThermalRight and Cooler Master come to mind.
