This computer is for video rendering and light gaming. Tell me what you think about it and tell me Is this overclockable to 4.5Ghz? I know it physically is, but will it be safe to do with this cooler? Thanks. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/b3XJdC

Alright, yes it's good but id reccodmend a better PSU. That PSU is made by FSP. I'd fccodmend a EVGA GS or G2 series for the better reliability. For the CPU cooler get a BeQuiet! Pure Rock. You'll get better temps and it'll be quieter. I'd get Kingston HyperX ram because that corsair ram you may have trouble fitting the cooler in as it looks a bit tall. @njmyers3

That's a decent build, whether you get to 4.5Ghz depends on how far you can get without having to bump up the voltage too much which is the silicon lottery but I would guess that cooler won't really be able to safely handle 1.3V+

Can you recommend some specific parts around the same price range?

  • Overclocking can't be predicted at all. Only assumptions can be made.

Watch out with tall ram. The CPU cooler could be in the way.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.
