I'm currently using the stock cooler for my i7-3770k however it gets really warm when I play games such as Overwatch and CS:GO, stays between 70 and 82 degrees Celsius which is pretty hot and it stays around 50-60 when idle. I haven't cleaned my current cpu cooler in a while but I will be doing it tonight. Anyway I still want to get a new cpu cooler just in case I want to overclock or do much more demanding things with my computer. So I'm looking for a good air cpu cooler that will fit in my case. I own a thermaltake V4 black edition.

As far as cpu coolers go I've had a look at two in particular:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Cryorig H7

I'm ideally looking for something within the price range of these two but I wouldn't have any problem going a bit higher if that means a better cooler. Any help is appreciated.

Is it easy to install? I mean I can always find a video on how to do it but I wanted to know if this will give me a hard time. And just to make sure again. This will fit in my case. Right?

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.
