I plan on having this computer for the next few years and figure I'd eventually like to look into overclocking. I'll probably be doing some rendering like Chunky which uses CPU. Right now I have installed the i5-4570 so overclocking wouldn't be possible. Amazon gives you a month to return items so I was thinking of returning it and getting either the 4570k or just going to the 4690k for $40.

/u/ZombieSparrow suggested the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus which seems to be a good cheap option. He also found a review about overclocking with my mother board and a 4570k.

I just wanted to get some other opinions on it before I make any decisions.
