I was putting all my parts together for my desktop i was going to build which included the Gtx 760. I had the website i was going to buy it from while i was gonna Pc Part Picker so i could see my watt usage and if i needed anything else. The Gtx 760 on the site i was going to get it from listed it as 980MHz. I was looking at a website trying to figure out what is a recommended Core Clock speed for pc gaming and people were saying that the i needed something higher than 3.0Ghz to run games at good frame rates. I have seen game play of the Pc i was putting together and the Gtx 760 seemed to do just fine even though it was less than 3 times the power of three whole Ghz. While i was on Pc part picker they seemed to think that there is no such thing as a Graphics card that has more than 2Ghz. Every graphics card that pc builder has is less than 2.0ghz, anything higher is non existent to them. Im not really sure if i need to use a different graphics card because youtube game play of the system seems to be fine, and is there another graphics clocking term they might of been talking about when they said 3.0Ghz?

If the Pc Specifications i was using are needed to help answer this probably here is what i was going to get.

-Gtx 760
-FX-6300
-8GB Ram
the rest of the stuff i was going to just put with it from an older desktop i have, and i assume most other desktop parts beside the Video card, cpu and memory are not very important.

The days of knowing how fast any CPU (or GPU) performs by looking at it's clock-speed are long gone.
The number of cores and the architectural generation (plus many other things) determine how powerful it is for gaming.
One way to get some sort of handle on things, given that there are an overwhelming amount of CPUs out there now, is to look at an online benchmark and comparison website.
For example https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ will give you a 'rough' idea of performance (ditto for GPUs).
But even then, having studied this website for a few years now, it gives a you an approximate indication only and is by no means definitive.
Otherwise, just keep asking questions on here. :)

GPU GHz got nothing to do with overall game performance, the easiest way to determine how smooth your gaming experience is:
- Newer generation of nVidia GPU will be faster than its predecessor at certain price range, at this point Titan X (pascal) is the fastest card among other pascal (GTX 1080, GTX 1070, GTX 1060, GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 1050).
- Compare intel's and AMD's CPU price, forget multi cores or GHz just get what's fit your budget so CPU will comes after you decide what graphic card. However, if you not sure which bottle neck what, look at their price tag, a 100$ CPU best pair with equal to 200$ pricier (ex. FX 6300 can still provide decent minimum frame per second (fps) with GTX 1060 at 1080p)
- Consider Free Sync display for AMD card or G Sync display for nVidia card. Both approach was meant to eliminate screen tearing (choppy images), ghosting effect (blur), and freezing video cause by monitor fix refresh rate and GPU render ability, more from http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/nvidia-g-sync-technology-will-revolutionize-gaming/

My recommendations are
- 1000VA UPS
- 550 watt gold certified power supply
