I was looking at this but with a Titan X as the graphics.

I have a question about the OC though. if I was to select the ram option of 16GB 2400MHz rather than the 8gb 2133MHz is that likely to cause the 4.6Ghz OC to be lowered?

I noticed there was a similar system with the same cpu but a lower OC but I can't tell what the reason this system has 200Mhz less on the OC.

My current pc is also from OCUK I got it in 2010- Ultima Drednought with a i7 950 (Bloomfield) OC @ 4GHz with a 580GTX. It runs gta quite ok at reasonable settings but I am finding it my temps keep going up to around 95+ and when it goes much more it blue screens.

Thanks for the advice!
 
Its closed watercooling, corsair hydro H80 I think.
I reapplied thermal paste about a year ago when it noticed it was overheating in another game. I cleaned all the dust out the ventilation on the radiator about 2 months ago.

It only goes up to those temps in games, idles at about 65c

When I replaced the thermal paste last time it didn't really do a lot to control the temps going that high. It kinda has always been like this, I am considering taking the overclock down a little maybe.

Besides all of that, I am strongly considering getting a new pc like the above anyways. I could self build, I have done so before for myself and for others, with OC. But these days I'd rather save the time building and OCing and getting it stable by paying a little extra for someone else to do it. Unless the price difference is considerable of course.
