Looks pretty good, Might want to invest in a CPU cooler (Hyper 212 EVO is a good choice) , how about OS and for the future might be thinking an SSD for OS and primary apps

 

[Jack Staniforth]

I have an OS and do you think the cooler is necessary, atleast for the first few months I won't be overclocking, but yes I have the funds just to build my system at the moment, SSD etc will come later.

If you want to hold off OCing, that would be fine, might want a utility app like Core Temp, can just keep an eye on temps, can't be too careful 😉

 

[Jack Staniforth]

Brilliant so as long as I put it all together right, these components all fit perfectly with each other?

 

[Tradesman1]

Yep, wouldn't anticipate any problems

 

[Jack Staniforth]

Just a quick question how hard is it to overclock a cpu?

 

[Tradesman1]

For the rig you select, can OC to 4 GHz basically just by changing the multiplier to 40 in the BIOS, , to 42 normally requires a little extra vCore, and then from there on up may want to find a OC guide for your mobo and CPU...big thing is to take it slowly and keep track of settings used for each OC attempt

 

[Jack Staniforth]

Ok, will 4ghz be noticeable from 3.4ghz?

 

[Tradesman1]

Yes, most notice the differnce, unless you are simply single tasking

 

[Jack Staniforth]

I's aiming mainly for the most part to play battlefield 4 for the next few months at least. But the cooler you suggested would easily suit the 4ghz overclock?

The OC should show, though most games are GPU centric though many love a fast CPU, some will depend on the combo, here, with your CPU and the 760 shouldn't see any bottlenecks if that was a worry
