i5 2500k + GTX 950 overclock

[lefelida]

i have an i5 2500k with a MSI z77 motherboard that gives me the option to overclock, but the i5 2500k is paired with a MSI GTX 950 2GB. the question is can i overclock to like 4ghz without having a bottleneck with the GTX 950, or running at stock 3.3ghz is the best? this computer is primarly use for flight simulation (prepar3d). what u guys think?

Having your CPU go faster isn't going to magically create a bottleneck, just that under some circumstances that overclocked CPU might have idle time if the GPU is the limiting factor.

Anytime that isn't the case, you would then have a faster CPU.

Monitor your graphics card load while using the simulator by downloading and installing GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner. If the graphics card stays pegged at 100% load, your CPU is not the limiting factor.
