Overclocking...

[Lewiskyy]

I am upgrading all my PC parts apart fom the case and PSU and was wondering whether I should bother overclocking? I am only going to be doing YouTube and playing games like CS:GO, The Forest and Black Ops 2.

 

I am going for the:

CPU - i7 6700k

Motherboard - Asus PRO GAMING ATX LGA1151

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws v series 16GB DDR4 2133

 

I listed the RAM because the Motherboard actually judges what RAM I can and can't use. All I really need to know is should I send money overclocking or should I overclock? It costs around £80 more to overclock and that money can be used to get a GTX 1080 instead of the GTX 1070 oh yeah btw I am getting a GTX 1070 aswell but a GTX 1080 would be lovely. So, should I spend more money to overclock and get a GTX 1070 or not overclock and get a GTX 1080?

honestly, if thats all you're doing, then no overclocking will provide absolutely no benefit to you.

Personally I would say get the none K and get the 1080. This is one thing that amd have over intel, not paying for the ability to overclock.

That CPU is way overkill for games like that

I will be playing upcoming games aswell, I forgot to mention

I guess a further question to ask is that if the OP is going to drop the "k" CPU, why bother with the 'gaming'/overclocking motherboard?   There's probably some more bucks to be saved by dropping that unless there's another reason its needed.

No need for a overclocking nor 1080. Especially for 1080p gaming.

I am only getting these parts because my youtube is doing well and I need to step up my quality and editing and also if I am streaming CS:GO I don't to be on 70FPS which is currently what happens

Your render time might decrease with a OC, but just slightly. 1070 destroys CS:GO hell my old GTX 670 reached 140-200fps @1080p Max settings
