Don't ask me why you want to buy the FX when the 2500K is better BUT i would go water cooling, Why you might ask well those fx processors use a lot of Power and in return get very hot Even at stock clocks they get up to 60C on the stock heat-sink. the 212+ could overclock it to 4.2-4.0Ghz but water should get it up to 4.4-4.6Ghz stable.
