I'm finally, really updating my CPU/MB/RAM! Yay!

Anyway, in the interest of keeping it relatively inexpensive, but keeping some OC fun available, I have the Pentium G3258 coming. I have both the Corsair H60 and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO at my disposal for use with the CPU.
Basically, I'm wondering which one will serve me better in my goals.

FWIW, it's being paired with an MSI Z97S SLI and 8GB PC17000 G.Skill Sniper DDR3 in the order.
 
the G3258 is a 53 watt processor, even with a great overclock it is unlikely to exceed 80 watts, if that.
I would go with the EVO which is a better match, simpler, and probably quieter.
otoh, if you plan to upgrade to a 4 core K chip the H60 might be a better idea.
 
I would take easily the 212 Evo over the H60.. specially if you are planning to do push/pull.... with my mild overclocked i7 sandy to 4ghz the 212 with push/pull of cooler master sickleflow made equal temperatures as my h100i.. champion cooler..
