i7-920 is fine. They're generally good OC-ers.

Thanks for your answer and how much oc needs for gtx 1070 saw a vid in youtube 3,7 should be fine and what is a good cooler for i7 920? Is 212 evo good enough

Hyper 212 Evo is fine. Don't want to spend an enormous amount on a budget build (unless you plan to reuse the cooler soon on a socket that's compatible with the cooler's mounting system).

The i7-920 is 11 years old now and it's been OC'd a million times. Not hard to find settings on the internet for doing that. How much you want to push yours is up to you (and how good your particular chip is). I wouldn't go too crazy (probably start with seeing what you can get at stock voltage), but bumping voltages slightly above stock isn't a bad thing for a CPU this old.

I got 3.8Ghz on a Hyper 212 Evo. Don't worry about XMP on the memory; memory speed doesn't matter that much.

Here's with Red Dead Redemption 2. GTX 1070 results will be around 980Ti results.

i7 7800X@4.8Ghz (Q2’17)/32GB RAM@3200Mhz
i7 980X@4.5Ghz (Q1’10)/24GB DDR3 RAM@1254Mhz
i7 960@4.3Ghz (Q4’09)/12GB DDR3 RAM@1724.6Mhz
i7 920@3.8Ghz (Q4'08) /12GB DDR3 RAM@1452.2Mhz
