Is ridiculous to get if you aint connecting RAID for your HDD.

The difference is that H has more SATA ports to support more HDD.

If you are going to do that then ok go for the H. Other than that i dont see why you need a H87 board.

Is it worth getting 64Bit instead of 32bit since most apps are still not optimize for 64bits yet..

64 bits to support more than 3.2gb of ram. Not just about apps, but the ram also determines how fast some of ur games or apps process data for output.

Anyway, a lot of H boards support up to 16 GB of ram while B boards support up to 32 GB of RAM.

If ya playing VMs/photoshopping/video editing on a budget, find those boards than can support up to 32GB of ram bah.

That's ancient theory.
If you are using some software from Co, maybe u will be affect. Most sme do not upgrade their software regularly.
