Pfft... You can get CPUs with more than 15 cores.
GPU - I suppose it comes down to what price you can get it for. I was lucky to get my R9 290 for less than the price of a 770. The stock card, like I said, gets hot and noisy but is incredible value for the performance, but third-party ones have tweaked cooling that deals with both the noise and temperature/throttling.
I would strongly recommend against the R9 280x. That's an older generation and far inferior card.
CPU coolers and stuff - it's obviously up to you and the extra cost of an aftermarket cooler isn't
that much, but that's also one of the things you don't need to buy right now, if you go with stock and don't like it then you can always upgrade later. RAM, similarly, is something you can add incrementally later without any loss, as is additional SSD capacity - there's no need to worry so much about getting it all "perfect" now
