Okay so first off I did read lots of info on the forums but most I could find seemed out dated 2012<. I use my rig for gaming and soon live stream on twitch. I'm not looking to break records or do any crazy rendering right now so I don't need a crazy overclock I know. But I did notice a nice boost while playing dayz when overclocked to 4.4 on my i7 3770k After I oc the cpu to 4.4mhz the ram to 2133mhz and my gtx 680 to 1186mhz and like 3.3 on the gtx memory. Everything was stable with dayz but with bf4 my gpu driver crashed and had to lower the oc and everything was stable with the cpu only reaching 70c while gaming and 82 in intel burn in test .. right now my voltage is a little higher than I think I need for my oc I'll adjust tonight. My problem is with my Thermaltake frio cooler is its to big and to close to my graphic card and makes everything run a little hotter than it should while my card is in pci-e 3.0
My first question is if I move my graphics card to a pci-e 2.0 slot will it be a noticeable difference if any at all.
And that is just until I set up a custom water loop for both gpu and cpu and before I do that I want a better mobo and power supply
Second question is what mobo and psu should I get as best bang for the dollar for gaming and oc
I might go sli 2 way in the future
My current set up is
Microsoft Windows 7 (64)
Proc-Intel core i7-3770k 3.5GHz/4.4 oc Quad-Core
