My room mate used that exact build in his main year for 3 years. It is a solid processor chip that runs rather cool at 30c.On the negitive side the they do consume a bit of power. Most records I have seen on an overclock are about 4.2-4.4, however we were never able to hit higher than a 4.0 stable. The motherboard also supports 32 gb of ram. even though newegg says 16gb. if you are going to upgrade any of the other parts I would say go for a better power suppy or a better power effecient GPU.
