Best solution
Nothing says you HAVE to overclock a "K" processor. Sometimes it's better to keep that, in reserve, for when new processors start to make yours seem slow, and then overclock, to give system a boost, to "keep up". You will need an AM cooler, then, suggest CoolerMaster Hyper 212Evo. You should get low profile RAM, to ensure high heat-sinks don't clash with cooler. Suggest Corsair CML, or GSKill Ares, or Crucial Ballistix Sport.
Other than that, pretty good.
Other than that, pretty good.
