keynes spec is bang on

i wan thinking about a 680 and also about overclocking?

 

[steaky360]

Any reason you want to overclock? Did you want to do it yourself or do you just want an overclocked CPU?

 

[eonfusionwhite]

i dont really know why?, people are always telling me to overclock :/ ahha

Overclocking is not really needed for gaming and the gtx 670 offers close performance to the gtx 680 and it is cheaper.

Overclocking won't increase performance in gaming much if any,also the 680 gives very little performance increase over the 670 and the 680 is quite a bit more expensive.

 

[steaky360]

As said above )). It's not really worth it unless you need the extra oomph for whatever reason (or you simply want to do it yourself to learn about it etc.). It's certainly not something I would say you 'need' to do

As for the 680 the 670 is very close to it performance-wise and you might want to save a wee bit of cash

Few benchmarks to consider

All motherboards in the configurator should provide the same performance for your intented use. If you are planning to add a 2nd nvidia gpu the P8Z77-V is a good choice.

32GB RAM over 16GB if you're using premiere pro.

I've merged this in with your old thread where you had pretty much asked the same question, and got a reply
