thanks for the quick replies
while i no experience in overclocking, i don't mind if i have to, but I'll probably just end up using Asus Suite II's TurboV EVO tool to auto-overclock

Ive just got a 780 Ti and i have a 2600K. If you want to free up your cpu some more then id suggest getting a soundblaster card to take care of your audio whilst gaming. I got a massive boost in fps when i got one.
