I have same 2600k @4.5ghz and a 7850,plays everything fine,using an asus z68 v pro board

I'd get a decent cooler if your overclocking tho,I use a noctua d14 but your ram needs to be low profile,the k2 mount doom has better clearance

I'm using a Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro SR1 CPU Cooler at the mo, might push it to 4GHz

idk how well those coolers perform,you might manage 4.5ghz,those chips don't get that hot tbh

have my 7850 @ 1050/1375mhz without touching voltages too
