How much does overclocking help tye performance
well if you are lucky and get a good CPU /GPU you can do really good OCs provided you have the experience and the cooling required
anyway with your rig? OCing the CPU - not much of a difference
OCing the GPU - with a good OC you can get the 60FPS performance
REMEMBER- OCing if not done properly can fry/reduce the lifespan of your rig
PS- the build below is meant for upgradability. you can add a 280x in crossfire when you can.Or you can stick with your original build and get a 970
