This is my first pc that i'm building and i'm planning to overclock the cpu to 4.4ghz. I just want to know if the parts will work with the overclock i.e. the psu, the cpu cooler, motherboard. I'm also wondering how i would be able to achieve this overclock as well using the motherboard's bios. This is my build:
NZXT Phantom 530 Case White
Intel Core i5 4690K
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
MSI Z97-Gaming 5 LGA 1150
G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4GB) DDR3
ASUS Radeon R9 280 DirectCU II TOP 3GB
Corsair CS650M Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
TP-Link TL-WN823N 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter
ASUS DRW-24D3ST 24x DVD Writer
Thank you very much for your help and consideration since this will be my first pc build which i will be making in October-December 2014 :D

I would think so. Maybe look into a closed loop water cooler if you are willing to spend an extra 50

1. Your PSU is a adequately rsized for overclocking

Quote:
This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the R7 and R9 series:

AMD R9 280 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 280 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.


2. You have a CS Power Supply which is kinda low on the quality scale.


3. The Hyper 212 is just fine for 4.4 Ghz. It will outperform most 120mm / 140mm CLCs.

I'd suggest a better PSU.....that one is $95 but usually has large rebates to push sales.

Suggestions:

Seasonic S12 620

Seasonic M12 620

XFX Core Edition 650

An EVGA G2 series would also work, Corsair TX V2 if ya can find one, Corsair HX or AX series, Antec HCG . HCP Series

The combination of quality and sizing puts you on the edge.

If the the cs650 isnt that good, what should i get thats around the same price range (i'm from australia) thanks :D

Sorry, connection has been going in and out today so I wasn't finished ...... copied that in from another post for a smaller Corsair C series and saved, then went back to edit and finish .... see post above for recommendations.
