I am building a computer and I have everything else I will need. I was planing on getting the following. It adds up to about $810 and i cant really go past that. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XRDFmG

I was planing on buying the following to OC but am having doubts because i don't know how to do it to be honest. What should i get instead of if i don't OC. Or would you recommend I OC anyways? (if so should i still switch anything?) Should i get a better GPU and lower CPU?

GPU Gigabyte gtx 760 2gb ($250)
CPU I5 4690k ($225)
CPU Cooler Hyper evo 212 ($32)
MB msi z97 ($119)

Keep it, you may want to boost your performance down the road, I dont know exactly which MSI board that is, but most have a overclock genie button you push to make overclocking easier and I think you can also do it with the genie in your BIOS. Your CPU/GPU are great choices.

Okay, thanks, but if i'm not going to OC should i get a different MB and drop the CPU cooler since I picked those to OC and get a better GPU/CPU or upgrade anything else in the build?
