i5-4670k Cooler Advice

[James97972]

Hey guys,
Im looking into buying a gaming pc with these specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z97
RAM: 8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (2x4GB)
Hard Drive: NEW! Samsung 120GB 840 Evo SSD
Secondary Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
PSU: 750W Corsair CS Modular (Planning to get another 770)

I'm planning to overclock to about 4.2 and the pc will be used a lot and will be multitasking quite a bit,
I'm stuck between spending a lot on the Corsair H80i and the Zalman CNPS10X Optima which is a lot cheaper. If you could recommend one or the other that would be awesome
Thanks

@ 4.2 ghz there is no need for watercooling, your cpu thermals will be more low enough with aftermarket air cooling. In fact i had this air cooler on my 4670k all the way up until recently operating @4.5

Thanks for your reply, I was thinking that maybe the H80i would be a bit overkill as im not overclocking that high but if i did want to go to about 4.4 would i maybe then need the water cooling?

It would depend on your individual CPU and OC prowess as to how much voltage you needed to use to power a 4.4 OC, but from my experience 4.4-4.5 range is pushing it for even most aftermarket air coolers, and those that might still be fine i.e (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608024) cost nearly as much as watercooling
