Upgrade Cooling?

Im currently running an i7 4790k at stock speeds with a CM Hyper 212 Evo but I was wondering if it's worth upgrading my cooling solution (to perhaps dabble with some overclocking). I don't have low profile ram and my case supports most radiator sizes (It's a Corsair Air 540). Any upgrade suggestions? Thanks.

NH-D15 for air cooling (Handles high-profile RAM without a problem)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I swear by Corsair for watercooling and found that an AIO gives good OC potential. Worth the investment.
