I currently have an Alpenforn Matterhorn Pure cooling an i5-4670K running at 4.2Ghz, but I think I can probably push it further. What is a good upgrade from this cooler, in terms of performance and noise? I have a Bitfenix Ronin case and a G1 Sniper Z87 motherboard.

As said, the Matterhorn is a good cooler. Top tier will give about 5c better temps. That is assuming your case is supplying our cooler air the same temperature as room. You might find this basic guide to case cooling interesting

Here is cooler temps and dBA at several different load wattages.
