Recently i just bought my diy pc but my cpu temp on idle is around 50+ i wonder is there something wrong or should i buy a cpu cooler?

My specs:
MSI z97 gaming 5 + i5-4960
MSI GTX 970 TF
WD black 1tb
SILICON POWER V60 240GB
G.SKIL RIPJAWSZ 1600MHz CL9 8GBX2
SEASONIC M1211620 MODULAR 620W
Fractal Design R5 with window case

running 2 monitor 1 running at 1920x1080 and 1280 x 1024

Actually 50deg C is quite normal and shouldn't be a cause of worry. However, if you want to bring it down, can buy a CPU cooler

Do get MX4 thermal paste.. U can get it at $11.90 from vrz, add 50 cents for postage. Better than getting frm sls which starts from $16-18.

50 degree c on idle is a bit on the high sideif you did not overclock.

It is better you re-seat your heatsink and re-apply the thermal paste. Normal one will do.
