Does it suffice? A budget air cooler is adequate for boosting the 4690k's performance?

Hi guys, my first PC gaming setup has been running for two weeks now after installing the new Asus Strix 1060 graphics card (thanks to Black Friday deals). I have a question about overclocking my 4690k to 4-4.5MHz. Will the cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 be sufficient for that? I won’t be constantly pushing the CPU overclock, just as needed for games that cause frame rate issues or when the CPU is under load.
My rig includes four fans: one from the Hyper Evo 212 and three Be Quiet! pure wings case fans paired with a Be Quiet! silent base 800 window case. There are three GPUs on my Asus Strix 1060, but I’m not sure that will help with GPU cooling either.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The 212 Evo typically handles modest overclocking well. I won't try to calculate the exact boost since there are too many factors involved, but you should see a few hundred MHz increase above the turbo speed at least. Overclocking shouldn't have a significant impact either.

The 212 Evo generally handles modest overclocking well. I won't try to predict the exact frequency because there are too many factors involved, but you should see a few hundred MHz above the turbo speed at least. Overclocking shouldn't have a big impact either.
Thank you turbo ;-) Noted
