Hi. I am really sorry about this stupid topic, but I am super OCD and stuff about my PC and I would really appreciate some feedback. 

 

I have a 2GB Gainward GTX 770 Phantom which I was able to overclock with EVGA precision to a core clock of 1293MHz and a memory clock of 3947MHz (adding +50 to the core and +440 on the memory, while boosting the voltage by +12). Would you consider that a good overclock or should I try to push it more? It is stable in modded Skyrim, Titanfall and DayZ Standalone. 

Also, I have an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5GHz with 1.4v. Would you consider that good? I know the voltage is a bit high. 

 

And lastly I have 8GB of 1333MHz Kingston RAM. Is that still enough? Would I notice any difference if I was to upgrade?

 

Again sorry for this stupid question but if you can take the time to give me some feedback I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

I believe 1600Mhz ram is considered the ''sweet spot'' for gaming.

I would probably turn down your cpu in voltage, and go with a lower frequency, even if you lose a bit performance, but since I don't know what the 2nd gen i5's can handle, I don't know. Just doesn't seem right to me that it'll last for long.

I THINK your Gpu is pretty solid. I didn't finish Overclocking my 780 yet, but I'm at about 1130Mhz Core clock and 3500Mhz memory clock.
How you get this out of a 770, to me, is a mystery, however.

The thing about my CPU voltage is, I have a pretty shit motherboard and I can only set a voltage offset so it's pretty difficult to get the voltage right.

Oh and I believe the reason my 770 seems "faster" is because the 780 is more powerful while running on a lower frequency. Sorry I can't explain it better I am not an expert.

It's fine. :) The only thing I'd change (being picky) is get some 1600MHz RAM. 1333MHz is becoming redundant nowadays.

no need for that,he wont notice an improvement,if it were one ofc

That's why I said "Being Picky" because that's the only thing I'd change. I know there's no noticeable performance gain. :)
