a few questions...
-for my build is a 550 watt power supply adequate if i overclock, i put in a 650 watt to be safe
-does the ram being 1600 and also being only 8gb ok for gaming?
-is the motherboard/CPU cooler good enough for overclocking to around 4.2 or 4.4 GHz?
-is the monitor that i selected any good (particularly for gaming)?
Thanks for the help guys!
