[Hayder989oman]

Hey guys, I want to build a new gaming PC and I need your help. My budget is 250 and I want a combo that works with the RX 480 and OC as an option. Thanks in advance and if you have any other thoughts please share.

if you want OC as an option then get ready to drop around $400 minimum.

Is that 250 including the RX 480?

Just revert the bios to a slightly older one and you'll be able to overclock the i5.

but that CPU is a non K cpu and that board doesnt support OC. if you want to BLCK OC you need a z170 motherboard, and also i believe intel patched the skylake BLCK OC exploit.

you can't OC on that setup. locked CPU plus non OC motherboard is a no go.

While that is technically true you can revert to an earlier bios and have no issues overclocking.

I don't need OC for now but after the warranty coverage I want to overclock to get more performance.
