CPU cooling? HELP

[MountainPro]

So I want to OC my new I7 4770k to 4.5Ghz but I need to get the proper cooling system first what do you guys recommend I get to properly and safely keep this at an appropriate temp. 

 

I will be putting it under load and heavy gaming.

Something like the Noctua NH-D14 or the Noctua NH-U14S.

What is your budget? What case do you have? Do you want water or air cooling?

This is also helpful.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

What are your system specs?

I'm going to be going on Newegg and don't really want to go much over $100 max 

But the lower the better.

I'm really looking for price to performance.

The Swiftech H220 is at ~$100 now

It gives you room for water cooling any other components you want should the need arise (just in case you have not heard of it)

In that case, get a 212 Evo.

212 EVO... its a big sucker, but the thing works wonders and will give you the best price to performance at an inexpensive price point.  Just make sure it will fit inside your case.

I would rather a lower air price like 50-90 for good air cooling and it have to fit the LGA 1150 socket for the haswell i7 4770k

[MountainPro]

In that case, get a 212 Evo. 

What are the big draw backs of that 212 evo? 

 

Anything that could be crippling or is it of solid build quality and worth the purchase cause that price is wonderful if it is good. 

My only concern is good build quality and will work.

The 212 Evo is solid and works excellent. I've got it set up with the fan that comes with it, and my i5-4670k @ 4.4GHz stays around 45C (+/-5C) while gaming heavily/using real world applications, and around 65C when stress testing. No complaints, and would easily recommend it, especially for the low cost.
