Hi,
I've yet to purchase a new system but I will be purchasing one on black friday. I plan on getting the i5-3570k for sure but other parts are up in the air, although I was looking into overclocking the processor but I don't know if it's necessary. I will be playing large-scale MMO games and League of Legends. Is it necessary to overclock, or is it for those enthusiasts?
Secondly, if overclocking is something that's widely beneficial and often done for huge performance increases - where does a newbie like myself start? What information should I have available of the do's and do nots overclocking, and warning signs of when I may be making a mistake? Does anyone have a detailed, elaborate, well-known guide that explains overclocking? Does a spending limit of $1,000 put a restraint on the parts needed to overclock? Does the CPU and GPU I listed below have reasons to cause bottleneck or are they a good match together?
Thanks!
Parts I more than likely want to buy :
CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GV-N670OC-2GD-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics/dp/B0080I06WQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383603225&sr=8-1&keywords=GV-N670OC
Motherboard: ??
RAM: 8GB (have not looked into brands)
HDD: ??
PSU: ??
OS: Windows 7 64
No monitor, keyboard, mouse, or soundcard required.
