No point in overclocking GPU or CPU. I would recommend the i5 instead because you'll save lots of money plus overclocking turns into heating and black screening problems. Maybe get a 1060 because that will run any game you will play at 60+ FPS. This will save you lots of money. I run Arma3 with a i5, GTX 970, SSD on all ultra with 3000k view distance with 60+ FPS. Lastly, I only recommend getting an i7 and 16gb ram if you are thinking of streaming or recording a shit ton cause 8gb ram is just fine with the i5 for gaming. Hope this helped Oh and forgot to say the motherboard is a great decision. Asus is an amazing and trusted company. @DeadPool1337
