I was wondering what was a good air cooler that's pretty quiet and not too difficult to install.

I'll be cooling my cpu probably an i5 4670k or 5th gen i5, when that comes out. I'll have a fractal define r4 as my case

How high of an oc are you shooting for?

Bequiet dark rock 3 (Pro)// shadow rock 2.

The big ass cooler from phanteks, don-t remember the number. Noctua nhd14 if you get the non-window R4.

Make sure to pair it with low profile RAM.

who cares...

4.0 ghz 

The 212 Evo is more than enough for that.

what about this fan

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011

do you think I could OC an i5 4670k to 4.4-4.6 ghz

The 212 Evo would be enough for ~4.5 ghz depending on the chip and will most likely easily hit 4.2 ghz.

The PH-TC14PE is enough for 4.6+ ghz but again, it depends on the chip. If you're just gaming, I would say it isn't worth the money over the 212 Evo.

Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 if you have tall RAM or BQ! Dark Rock PRO 3 if have low profile RAM....The CRYORIG R1 Ultimate is a solid choice as well.
