Im a newbie to overclocking. Tried many different ways through forums. Most of the old links are broken. Can anyone help me push this little guy from 2.4 to at least 3? I can provide bios pics

Ya its a full tower. I think my motherboard required a full

Is there a reason I cant use my old case? Any case should work besides a mini correct?

Thanks guys. I do gaming as well. But I only play RTS and RPGs. Nothing super graphic intense

If my budget is $1500-2000?

Don't wanna spend a ton. Less then $1000 if doable? I have a case and HDDs already I cant reuse the video card? I just bought it a few years ago

Hey friends! I need a build that can edit 5k, 6k, so on. My PC right now lags in heavy edits. It's sooo old but still a beast. Motherboard---Gigabyte EP45-UD3P RAM----8 gigs. 2 gigs each(800hz) POWER----750 watt Silencer Quad(But I read you should replace anyway after 5 years?) VIDEO----...

Thanks for all the help guys

I have been doing editing just fine with my q6600 and r270x.... gigabyte motherboard. Just thought it was time to upgrade since one of my hdds went bad. I think I have had the power supply for maybe 5 years? If it goes bad would it damage anything? Or just die?

And for RAM what is the timing 9-9-9-30 stuff? Only difference I can see in most DDR3

Rad thanks man. Had that beast power with my q6600. I also have a sapphire R-270x for GPU. I think its good for now. DO I need anything else? Is stock heatsink good on the 4770k? Any suggestion if z97a or z97e is better for editing?

My last question is I have this silencer power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703009 Will it work with either a97-a or a97-e? Pin wise and such

Nevermind it does both. Lol

Thanks man. So if I do the z97-a it says RAM is DDR3 3200(OC). Do I HAVE to get overclocked ram? Also do I have to get 3200? Or can I use 1600?

What is ecc? And what version of the z97 do you prefer?
