First Pc Build

[FSU_Legion]

So I built my first pc for Christmas and it works great so far. I spent about $900 during black November to build it and I'm wondering how I did. I got a 650w psu it's corsair and had 5 eggs at time of purchase, I got a 4690k for the cpu I'm on stock cooler, I got a msi z97 sli krait mobo, for the gpu I got the msi gtx 970 oc edition, and I have 8gb of 1866 ddr3 ram. So what I want to know is if my pc would be considered "high end", what should I add to my pc over the next year to improve it, can I overclock my cpu at all on the stock cooler (currently at 3.5 with good temps under load), and how do you think it will preform in the witcher 3?

You would be considered a high end gaming build with a Haswell (Refresh) i5 and GTX 970 combination. Your major upgrade would be to add an SSD for your OS / boot partition. You will need an aftermarket CPU cooler to overclock. On the stock Intel cooler it would quickly build heat and start throttling or go into thermal protection (negating your overclock).

Sorry... I don't have any experience with Witcher 3.
