I basicly would like some overclocking ability, might delid it in the future.
Would the H7 suffice? Is the RAM good/fast enough?
Anywhere where i could decrease some costs or improve on the upgrade?
Would like to hear it!
edit: sidenote, i am wearing headphones all the time so i dont care how 'noisy' a CPU cooler is, i just want good cooling capabilities. performance over anything else in my book.
edit2: updated list
