best configuration for overclocking?

The strix isn't great for overclocking. It's meant to be a silent card.

well its a good configuration but not the best for overclocking. you would want a better cooler for your cpu maybe a better air cooler or sealed water cooler. the motherboard isn't the best selection for overclocking performance either you might want a z97 to ensure future upgrades also. both power supplies listed have a bad reputation (not 100% on the smart), go with a more reliable brand. good build, but for best overclocking you would need to expand your budget a bit
