I am thinking about getting the i7 6700k, but for that i might need to do some researches on how to overclock the cpu.
 


Never had any experience with overclocking. Ive turned up the gpu quite some times ye, but not with a cpu before.
 


Whats with the lifespan of the CPU?
 
CPU's generally long outlive every other component. If you really abuse them, you can kill them, but I have overclocked chips from the late 90's still chugging along, while the PC is on its 2nd motherboard and 3rd power supply.
 


Alright cheers! Thanks for the help. 'ave a good day
