Air cooling will do. I have even seen people with your processor get as much as a 4.5 GHz overclock with the 212 EVO, and even for higher overclocks/ cooler and more quite operation there is still the Noctua nh-d14. Don't go for water cooling unless you are going for an extreme overclock.

also, if you are gaming, your graphics card is really holding you back.

if you are overclocking a good amount, get liquid cooling if you cant afford it. if only doing minor overclocks or no overclocking, get the evo 212 for $30
