hello, i need some help picking parts for a gaming computer that i can overclock.

 

mainly wanting to spend 800 pounds but i only need 3 main things the motherboard the cpu and enough for this case: corsair graphite 760t i can reuse my old ram in this system and psu for now till i get my next pay check.

 

i use dual monitor setup currently running on this system: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3cCxjX

main reason im upgrading is because i want to move to Intel and try my hand at water cooling and overclocking but im having a hard time picking the best motherboard for the job

 

i mainly want to use the computer for gaming and a little video editing not pro style just hobby style editing?

The 4460 + B85 board is a much better choice for gaming.

sorry sorry was looking at some partpickers xD 

psu:Cooler Master VSM 650W 80+ Gold 

ram:Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600mhz

 

alot of people have said to get a i5 instead of the i7 is there a big difference between the 2?

 

main reason i want a different case from the h440 is the window i feel is to small and i want to add a reservoir that's see-able through the glass

This should be enough for now, you can add water cooling when you will get your next paycheck.

Please for the love of all that is holy, do not custom watercool a locked processor a FX 6350. From an economical stand point, it is a huge waste of money, as a i5 4690k or an i7 4690k upgrade would yield far different performance.

Like I said in a previous post, get a 4460 and a B85 motherboard as opposed the 990 Gigabyte board and the 6350.

If He wants to overclock, as mentioned in the opening post, then an i5 4460 and B85 board isn't much use.
