Its fine since its basically a weaker version of the 4760k but has better integrated graphics which I guess are close to a gtx 650. I have seen alot of people overclock it to 4.5 or more ghz but I have not tried any overclocking myself.

you mean 4779/4790k since the 5775c is an i7

I hear it is a hit or a miss with OC, even with the IPC improvement, couldn't out perform the 4790k when max OCed (depending on OC)

You should try I hear very conflicting reports on overclocking. 

Why did you go with the 5775c if i may ask?

Woops yeah that, I decided to go for it since it was supposed to be a bridge cpu and for the fact I was trying to save money since I didn't have a gpu at the time and couldnt afford both so I went for it, But if you do have the money for a gpu go for the 4790k if you want to use 1150 and overclock easier.

Yeah that is what I was going to do with my HTPC/lan, but managed to get a 4770 and a 650ti for a crazy good deal.

What upgrades do you have in mind for the future?

I plan on either getting another 960 for SLI or just flat out upgrading the GPU in general to something like a 970 or something from the next generation. I also plan on upgrading to skylake eventually with a 6700k.

Updated added LED's to the case so I could see the inside better in the dark, I feel it matches well with the Riing LED fans.

Just added 2x 4gb sticks from Hynix to the system. Got it for a steal from a local pc shop for $25 used.

Finally swapped cases to something I feel looks more clean and aesthetically pleasing. I need to pick up some combs to train my sleeved gpu cable. If anyone has any criticisms feel free to share I want to continue advancing this rig.

I know a set of custom sleeved cables can get expensive but you might want to pick up at least the 24 pin to match your gpu cables

Yeah that would make it look better ill try to pick one up soon since I can get one for less than $25 on newegg

I wondering if I should put 2 fans at the front if that would help keep things cooler
