Will I need Noctua NH-U12A over NH-U12S for 5600x? I do have the cooler that came with the 5600x and if I want an upgrade for the cooler, would NH-U12A be a better choice? I'm not sure if it is worth $40 more.

IMO, none of the Noctua 120mm coolers are worth it, unless you're trying to cram them into a small case. I would get an Arctic (but watch out, because prices in the US are fluctuating for them) or Scythe, for 120mm, like a Mugen 5. A Cooler Master Hyper212 BE would be a good one, too.
