Overclock order

Hi everybody

I tought it's best to drop such a question in here due to the proper community.

 

Basically I want to OC my components including CPU, RAM and GPU (though it already runns higher than founder edition) since I've been running stock for the moment. 

Therefore I'll give you my specs:

CPU: i7 5820K
RAM: Corsair Vengance DDR4 4x4 GB (since CPU and Mobo support quadchannel)

GPU: GTX 970 (Zotac AMP! Extreme [ZT-90103-10P])

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

PSU: 650W

CPU is cooled by an AIO liquid cooler: Corsair H100i

 

So I read pretty much everything I could find and was watching alot of videos. 

I know theoretically how to do the OC (also have some friends that might help me). But I was wondering in what order I should OC. First GPU then CPU and then throw on the XMP for my RAM? Or RAM before CPU? What does interfere and which would be the best programms to use?

 

Thank you for your time and answers!

I would say first do xmp, then gpu, then CPU.

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
