I have a gtx 670 and am looking to buy another quite soon. I also have a corsair gs 800w psu.

Im not too sure about what to over clock the cpu upto and would also love some avice on that as well.
Thanks guys.

You could go for one of the boards below, both very good for OCing and cheaper. Would also save you £20-30 which you could put towards a cooler, if you don`t already have one.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z87X-OC Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £172.99
1 x Asus Z87 MAXIMUS VI HERO Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £169.99
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual CHannel Kit (PV38G213C1K) £65.99
Total : £420.37 (includes shipping : £9.50).

You could also save yourself a bunch by getting the i5 over the i7. For gaming the i7 is overkill.

I might save myself some money and put it towards another 670.
