Are the parts I picked compatible and can this rig be overclocked? How did i do with the parts? This is my first build. Any suggestions? I want to play any game at settings maxed out. EVERYTHING MAXED OUT. I have a 27 inch asus 1080 p monitor 2 ms. My budget is 900-1000.

Dont think I would want a 520W PSU for a 670 and overclock build.

520W is enough for a 670 OCed and a CPU OCed.

stressing with OCCT your system won't hit that gaming with a OC'd cpu

but hey that pc power & cooling is a good choice.
