Don't know if this is right section so if not switch it mods pls. So I got good grades and I could get either a cpu cooler (looking at cryorig h7) or 8g more ram. Leaning towards cooler but yea, anything else around 30-40 you could suggest too?

Cooler now, RAM at Xmas. H7 is great I love mine. DDR3 2x4gb can be had for $32 and probably won't improve noticeably over your existing 8 anyway (assuming you have 8 and are doubling it.)

unless you are using all of your ram there is no rewards from getting more.

if noise is an issue^ yes. plus they look really nice too. (especially compared to the hyper212evo, which is functional, but a bit of an eyesore)

 

Maybe get better mouse? no idea what you have now, but a 40$ upgrade is hard. Maybe something with audio, speakers/sub/headset?

Just throwing ideas out there.

Nah I could upgrade my mouse but don't really need to, I have nice peripherals besides mouse too.

That cooler can handle quite a bit, I very highly recommend it and the H5, personally the only reason to get the H5 over the H7 is if you have X99 because the H7 isn't compatible with X99 mounting.

They look very good with a Thermaltake Riing 120 fan on them if you have a side panel. Those fans are about $15-18.

If anything will fit it's the H7. Shortest tower cooler afaik. And it'll clear any ram.
