Needing a new gaming rig spec

[keynes]

Yeah I'll most likely invest in a 3D Ready monitor, what size screen does ur monitor have, 30"?

27'' It has the emitter built in and comes with nvidia 3d vision glasses.

Can PC Specialist overclock the gtx 670?

Can PC Specialist overclock the gtx 670?

They will not overclock the graphics card for you and if you overclock it yourself then it will void the warranty.

what about the i5 3570k, if i select that one do they overclock that at the factory?

The i5-3570k is not pre-overclocked, it is just unlocked for easier overclocking, however you can order it overclocked from PCS and it is covered by the warranty.

They will overclock CPU's for you, but not GPU's.

You need to order through the overclocked PC's configurator, the Intel ones are here: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/desktop-pcs/intel-overclocked-computers/

I'd suggest going for gold warranty considering how much you are spending.

I'm also looking at getting 1 of either the liyama 2473 or the AOC i2352Vh.

Which one stacks up best for inline viewing while gaming ive read mixed review on both.
I've changed the processor to an overclocked one along with the CPU cooler to get the full potential of the CPU, just so I don't have to overclock it further down the line.
