It is way better than the stock Intel cooler and will allow for a good overclock. It will dissipate heat just fine... For comparison sake, the CM Hyper 212 EVO is known as a great budget cooler and has provisions for a second fan (push / pull configuration). You are seemingly locked into one fan, but that shouldn't be a big deal unless you want bragging rights with your overclock. The "high end" option for an air cooler is with the Noctua NH-D14. Settle in with an overclock around 4.5GHz and enjoy. ...or sit lower than that (4.0GHz?) and dial the fan down for low noise.
