Hey guys,

I have a GTX 770 SLI, and I am really stuck on which CPU to get along with it.

My motherboard is MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition, Socket-1150

I have taken a look at the i5 4460, but i do not know how well it goes with the GPUs.

Thanks!

I'd say get a 4690k and overclock it a bit, If you are tight on cash then a 4460 would do the trick aswell, it just seems a shame to not take advantage of the Z97 chipset.

I do not have a specific budget, i am just trying to keep it somewhat low.
My current CPU is a Pentium G3258

I have a Corsair H55 Hydro Series CPU cooler. Is that good enough for overclocking the 4690k, so it wont overheat?
Thanks for the help btw. It is really helpful!

You could look at i7 4790K or i5 4690K?

i think the i7 is too expensive for my build, but do you think my current cpu cooler (Corsair H55 Hydro Series) is good enough to cool the i5 4690k when it is overclocked??
I'm new to overclocking, which is why i am catious about buying CPU's for overclocking...

Just make sure to change the clock by a small degree and then run a test to monitor temps. If you slow and careful there wont be any problems :D
