On my build I'm currently using a hyper 12 evo, i5 4670k, asus GTX 770 and a 750 watt gold PSU. What I was wondering what kind of an OC can I get with this build? I want the machine to last 3+ years so I was thinking a lower overclock like 4.0-4.2. Would that be possible for my current design? I'm willing to buy more fans. My case already has 3 120mm fans on it. Also would it be possible for me to get a higher overclock and still last that 3-5 year range. Also here is a little more about my build:

Depends on heat and voltages, I'd say 4.2 is prob good for as long as you want to keep running it, and can probably even go 4.4.....Oced Intel chips can litterally run as long as you want, I've got some Q6600 out there still running at 3.6-4 GHz going 24/7 that I built back in 2007, my 2500K is running 24/7 at 4.8, my IB a 3570K goes 24/7 at 4.7

Never updated my build, I actually ended up going with a 840 series 120 GB SSD.
 


Ok so my current build should be good then? Also thanks for the quick response.
