I think your caps lock is broken.

The h100i and cooler master HAF 912 advanced match perfectly together, If you can afford it, I would say go for it.

There are several conceptual mistakes in the very beginning of this thread.

  • ■ Why buy a K version when there are no plans to overclock?
    ■ Why buy an expensive Z87 mainboard when there are no plans to overclock?
    ■ Why waste $100 on an excessive cooling solution, especially when there are no plans to overclock?
    ■ Why would one want to keep his Core i7 below 68°C? That value appears to be purely wanton. Intel even specifies 72°C as acceptable temperature for the heat spreader! The cores, which are always hotter than the spreader, can go up to 100°C.

He might overclock it later on.

Same as before.

same as before, he might do some heavy work on it, and want to keep it cool.

This could be for many reason, but none of them would apply for normal user.
Normally when you want to keep it under a certain level, it's because you are running some really heavy application, which draw lots of power, and in case that the cooling solution might fail(even for some second) the heat would rise almost instantly, quicker than the motherboard can react to shut it down.
But this only applies to bigger server rooms running multiple servers, and they use way better cooling solutions.

These, well, precautions for possible future overclocking will cost him a huge chunk of money, for a feature that he does not want to use now and possibly will not want ever to use. The $100 for the voluptuous cooler alone could be directly spent into better CPU or graphics card. Same goes for the other unnecessary investments.

Overclocking is not free. Not with Intel. That is why overclocking has lost its point.

Everything have its price.
When his cooling solution arrives, he might even start overclocking there, who knows, he might not even overclock at all.
He might already found the GPU for him, and might not see the reason to spend more money on that.
The same goes for SSD, why even bother, when you in the end always can upgrade one or another part.
Some prefer having a silence cooler, some prefer having a cooler cooling solution. For that it have it's price.
I would rather not speak for OP, as we all have different perspective on things.

Are you aware this is not question-everything forum?
Simply just looking at it from your own perspective is not going to help anyone.

are you saying the core i7-4770k is a weak processor?
What is a strong processor? A ivy-bridge-extreme processor?

But your response most obviously does not fit into this thread, because he already plans on getting a 4770. Besides, a 4670K with water cooling can perform significantly better in games than a 4770K with air cooler, because water-cooling allows you to overclock harder, and hardly any games benefit from hyperthreading, so for a gamer, the 4770K confers no advantage over the 4670K.

Where i5 4670K is enough , i5 4670 is enough too . Overclocking for what . For 10% - 4 frames per second more .it s not worth .

While I share your opinion, it again does not fit into this thread. Sorry, but the last responses that I have read from you - not only in this thread - were all on the brink of trolling, as they were all unrelated to the subject.
