I wanted to overclock the CPU ofc, but i would also like to overclock the RAM and GPU... Will this void my warranty? Also when i buy my overclocked i7 does it come with profiles in the BIOS or do i have to do it myself?

overclocking the GPU voids the warranty on the GPU even if nothing goes wrong as far as im aware
It will come with a profile for the overclock :)

Also while it will not perform as fast as the two 570s i would suggest buying a single 580 for now with the possibility of buying another one later when needed.

Also make sure to get the silver warranty for an extra £5 it is well worth it.

If i change the FSB will that also void the warranty? DW got the silver warranty just didn't include it :D
Yeah i read a lot into the GPU's and decided to stick with the 2 570's, mainly because i am not across multiple screens and i have a relatively small monitor + wasn't planning on upgrading anything but the RAM.

Be sure to read that thread though as with the knowledge and the common sense you can overclock your CPU just dont expect to be covered if your CPU fails
Unrelated problems are still covered

Was only going to overclock to around 4-4.2GHZ not too much, btw if i add more RAM will that affect the warranty in any way?

No, but if your in anyway unsure of the procedure then post up here on the forum, call PCS up or email PCS to get them to walk you through it

PCS will also sell you ram (seperately) as you would be an existing customer if you so wished and they would post it to you!
