Hello i'm getting my first gaming PC for Christmas. And i'm getting the Intel core i7-4790K 4.0 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150. And i'm wondering if i should overclock. Like i said this is my first gaming PC so everything is new. I don't know how to overclock but I've heard it shortens the life span of the CPU. so is it worth it i'm planning on only gaming and browsing the web but do i need more GHZ to game? Here are more of my specs
