Do I need to overclock??

[Pilbo_Baggins]

I have an upcoming build with an AMD 8350 with GTX760 SLI. My question is, Do I need to overclock? If so, What kind of cooling will I need?

You probably don't need to but with a chip like that, that overclocks so easily and runs so cool why not? A cooler like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064 for $10 will let you easily run a 8350 at @ 4.4-4.6Ghz at very reasonable temps. Do you need to? Probably not... But I sure would!

Awesome thank you. I was wondering about any cooling issues with two graphics cards. Since optimal performance is the goal, I am wondering about how many fans I actually need for the Corsair 300R windowed case?

No problem! If it were me, I would throw 2 intake fans on the side panel and then put 2 exhaust fans on top. Then you'll have 3 blowing in and 3 blowing out. Should keep the 2 760's and the 8350 nice and cool. If you don't want to spend $80 on 4 high end fans (Corsair or Noctua), these Coolermasters work well for the price and are very quiet. I bought the 4 pack for my wife's PC and was pretty impressed with them for only $2 each haha!
