title pretty much says it all. if I get the intel I wont OC obviously since its locked. If I get the amd I will OC a bit (maybe 3.8Ghz) no, I wont OC over 4.0Ghz because temps in my room are nasty (34-36 deg celsius), and even with a CM Hyper 212X and good airflow in my CM Storm Enforcer, I don't want to gamble. the CPU that I will choose will be paired up with a GTX 770

and also, if I get the fx8320 and OC it a bit, will my seasonic 620w be enough? or should I upgrade PSU too?

you mean 4460? or are you encouraging me to get the 4440 instead? because I heard 4460 is a 4440 with +.1 Ghz. plus 4460 is cheaper than the 4440 (dunno why)

yeah that's what I was originally gonna go for. but then I read all these "future games will be optimized for octa cores" and all that stuff. So I thought maybe the FX8320 would be better in the long run. would you still recommend the 4460?
