To be honest im not even sure if im gonna even need to overclock. the computer i got right now is 11 years old so i cant do much of anything on it. All i would be doing with my new pc is downloading stuff and gaming so would overclocking really be needed with a build like that? I guess that would be my question actually because I dont really wanna skimp on the storage or video card in the interest of saving money. And besides overclocking, does my motherboard seem over the top? I see similar builds with 100$ mobos. I just picked that because I do plan on upgrading my parts eventually but honestly I have no idea as far as motherboards go.

Also if i were to go with overclocking and buy a cpu cooler on as well could i fit it all in my mid tower? Im not sure if anyone would know for sure but i heard of people buying a build and not being able to fit it all in the case

Actually i already know the case will be too small it says right on the site. so if i were to overclock id need a tower with more room but im not sure if its going to be necessary.
