How much OC can I get away with using a 212?

[Consider]

Hi all,

Due to a limited budget, I'm thinking of buying the following;
■Antec 900
■i5 3570k
■CM Hyper 212 Evo

Is hitting 4.5 realistic, or is the 212 Evo just not good enough to get me that far? I know it's impossible to say for sure, but I'd like to have a solid 4.5 OC on my CPU if possible. If you think it's too much of a gamble on the Evo, what aftermarket cooler would you recommend?

Thanks for your time.

Possible? Yes.

What PSU are you using? Also, are all of the stock fans installed and working in the Antec 900? Good airflow and power will go a long way to help you hit the higher CPU speeds.
