If you are getting a K-series unlocked I5 then get a Z77 chipset, otherwise you can not OC...Also the H60 is junk, get an air cooler for the same price and it will be MUCH better.
Its also always better to go low profile RAM as those fins do nothing and hinders many coolers.
Tanks again for the tips.

Its only a 13% performance increase, with a little less power consumption and heat generation, get it if the price difference is not that much
otherwise stick with ivy bridge.I was checking the price and i think it's worth it to go with Haswell, thank you very much for the suggestion.
