Looking to play the latest games, on high to max settings for extended periods of time, wanting to know if this cooler is adequate, and if not can you recommend something that is.

I agree 100%. Get an air cooler.

H55 and H60 perform worse than a good air cooler like the Cryorig or Hyper 212 EVO.

Liquid cooling doesn't make sense performance/dollar wise until you are spending $100+ on a 240mm or larger cooler. Most midrange to high end air coolers perform better, are quieter and cost less.

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference

Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.
