I'm new to PC gaming and building and I'm wondering if there is a video build guide to my above build or one that has a similar component list. I don't plan on buying the parts for a while, as I'm waiting for some holiday deals, but I do want to know what I'm doing before I get my hands wet.

1. you need a better cpu cooler for a serious overclock

don't get a gigabyte board for overclocking. go msi, asus or asrockother than that, build looks good, good work

[Knaj]

Looks pretty good to me, but wait for other people to check it out too.

[Knaj]

But as for build guides, just follow any build guide out there that is relatively close to what you have, and for parts that don't make sense just check the manuals or come back on LTT forums and make a post

[BigDay]

for the cpu cooler, i suggest the following for a good overclock:

 

noctua nh-u12s

noctua nh-u14s

noctua nh-d14

corsair h60

[SkimmyMcG]

Everything looks good to me!

1. changed your cooler to an h60
2. changed the motherboard to an asus z97-e. good for overclocking.

How much of a difference will OCing make? 

[BigDay]

How much of a difference will OCing make? 

 

i think it makes a difference. depends on what you do with the pc. cpu intensive tasks will run faster. if you don't want to overclock, get another cpu like the xeon e3 1231v3, which is similar to an i7-4770

 

or

 

get a 4590 to save some money and get a 390x

 

or

 

keep the 4690k and read my overclocking guide; link in my sig

[alphaman]

if you are newbie,and not overclock,that's good hsf

 

btw if you plan to buy in holiday,the price will be a lot different,maybe new processor,and more cheap RAM
