Hey there! This Christmas I'm building my PC for the first time. It's finally time to leave pre-build prison
Here's hardware I'm getting. (Please share your opinion about overall build, TYVM)
MOBO: MSI X99A
CPU: 5820K covered by Corsair H110i GTX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 2666MHz (still not sure, is there a better option?)
Storage: 1# Intel 750 SSD 400g, #2 2TB HDD from pre-build PC
GPU: Single GXT 980Ti from Gigabyte (Standard Nvidia model)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W
Case: Everything inside Corsair C70
My main fear is overclocking. I've heard a lot of rumors that your CPU might easily die, if you even touch its clock speed. I was planning to overclock it up to 4.5ghz setting its voltage to 1.3V(If H110i cools cpu well enough). As Linus showed in his X99 overclocking guide.

I'm spending couple hours a day in Guild Wars 2, where I have significant FPS drops in crowded places, already having 980Ti installed. It's where I was recommended to boost my CPU speed.
