at this point i'm just going to leave it stock until I upgrade my psu/gfx card then I will look into getting this puppy OC'd if I feel it needs it. still some insight would be nice
did I do okay or am I slowly destroying my cpu? not to experienced with overclocking.
I have it running stable at 4.5 36+hours
i7 4790k
asus sabertooth z97 mark 2
kingston hyper beast 2400 2x8 ram
hyper 212 evo air cooler

just upgraded my baby to an i7 4790k and my ancient 2gb 7790 is NOT cutting it anymore, so i'm curious as to what is the best buy right now in the 200-350$ price range for a gpu. also in need of a new psu so throw suggestios my way please.
and that is just personally my favorite case at the moment. ultimately up to yourself. but please build it.. it really isn't hard and is nothing compared to what it was 10-15 years ago. its cake now
if you aren't going to build it. you have no place being on these forums. cyberpower is going to rape your wallet. dashboys build looks great. but heres what i'd go for.

lol just because you watched a few videos on youtube of people running bf 3 on a 6850 sure but the fact of the matter is its not a optimal experience whats so ever constant dips belows 20 fps at those settings this build needs a 750k and a 760 or 660 if you want to actually enjoy 1080p gaming.
this is the clear choice. best performance at your current price undoubtedly

My kicker/backup machine is sporting a 7790/athlon 750k and has no problem playing the latest games at 1080p such as metro last light at a steady 60 fps pretty much ultra settings but you do have to tweak these newer games. don't expect to be playing with full anti aliasing and what have you...
honestly I wouldn't be build a new pc at this point unless its really low budget (600-800) especially with those bulldozers coming out soon and nvidia dropping the 880's this year its bound to bring the predecessors down quite a bit. honestly I can see people building 1000$ budget builds with...
