Is this good enough for gaming and general use (Not super intensive gaming)

[GoldenBen]

My new quote spec (Thoughts welcome)

Hi guys, i've made another quote, this time with the i5 4670k over clocked. My last quote was with the i53570k, but the fact that this is pre over clocked enticed me, and it doesn't cost all that much more. I've seen some impressive increases in FPS on certain games online with this card over clocked and wanted to know others thoughts, and if they think this system is good for gaming? Anything that can be improved without lifting the budget too much? I'm also now planning to use my LG TV as my monitor and wondered what cable I needed, is it the DVI to HDMI? many thanks

Can you post the link of the increase in fps?
You could consider silver warranty for £5

Yes good idea will get silver warranty for sure. After days of deliberation i've now decided on my original i5 3570k spec with p8z77 v-lk mobo and 8GB ram/760 gtx gpu. Although there's like a 5-10 % increase in FPS on some games I need to save as much money as possible.

This is what I'm happy with now, just need to know if the corsair h40 cooler will stop the blue LED side fan from being installed before I place my order?

It won't, the h40 is small and it shouldn't block the side fan.

Thanks again you've been really helpful with everything i've had to ask! Literally the only thing i'm not sure about now is the cable i need. I'm gonna be using my LG TV as the monitor, is is still a standard DVI cable I need as I know the TV has a DVI output?
