While i notice all your cooler choices seem to be lower profile than most OC capable air coolers, might i ask if you are lacking on space?

If you arent, i would strongly suggest something along the lines of a Cooler Master hyper 212 EVO thats available at those prices, that can handle an overclocked 760k all the way up to 4.6-4.8 depending on which method of clocking you use to reach those speeds stable. I use the evo on a friends build and got him all the way up to 4.77ghz and it never once throttle or restarted while running Prime 95. vv

FWIW if you cant swing something the size of a hyper 212, you may not get enough cooling to overclock since this chip needs voltage out the wazoo and volts = tons of heat!
