Hi, I'm soon going to be upgrading my gaming computer. Here is what i have in it now: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor 3.30 GHz, AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series, and the M4A88T-M/USB3. Here is what i was planning on putting in: Intel Core i5- 3570k (planning on overclocking), Asus GEFORCE GTX 770 GRAPHIC CARD, and the MSI H77MA-G43 LGA 1155.

Would you recommend overclocking or not? Also i was thinking about even going to an i7 but I'm not sure what the performance difference would be for the extra money spent. I mainly play league of legends, and gmod. But i have been getting into wow, gta, and bf4.(I'm willing to spend a little bit of extra money)

you may want to hold off on the cpu upgrade. the cpu you have now is perfectly good for gaming and shouldn't cause much in the way of bottlenecking on heavily threaded games like bf4. the 770 is perfectly good for games like bf4 but overkill for lol.
either way your looking at a substantial quality boost in some titles while not a lot in others.
in your case i would say get the gpu first and if you not happy with the perfomance then consider jumping to an i5 cpu...

the i7 will bring nothing to the table over the i5 in games. in fact it only really shines when you jump to the 6 core models and only then for productivity, as its been shown that theres no real benefits to the i7 even when using 3-4gpu's which is where it was supposed to...
