Hi there,
I have already bought an MSI GTX 680 TwinFrozr III + FX 8350 + 2x4 GB HyperX FURY 1600 MHz DDR3 (dual channel), using Zalman 9900 MAX as a CPU cooler and a non-stock thermal compound. My computer is going to be used for gaming (RTS and RPG) as well as rendering (releasing about one video a week or so). I also work with programs such as 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Photoshop - that's the reason why I need a really beefy 8-core CPU.
I haven't decided whether overclocking makes sense in my case - and if it does, which PSU should I choose to make sure that everything will be working stable and the power consumption won't cause any problems? I have been thinking of buying Fatal1ty 750W, but is it worth it? My motherboard may not be so great for OC though - it's ASRock 970 Extreme 4 AM3+. I want to mention I have never tried overclocking before, but I know the basics. Thanks in advance!
