Everything on high is the optimal settings it seems, with some on ultra. The FPS d

Partitions? I had no idea i could set up stuff like that. Could you give me a link on info?\
Yeah i didn't release the resolution of the pic would be that big, didn't even notice. I took it from my phone so i thought it would be smaller. :P

I have never overclocked at all, so any info on how to get started would be awesome as well.

Thank you everyone for helping me choose parts. I am very happy with the rig overall, my only complaint would be that it is pretty loud. But i don't even notice it while I'm immersed in my gaming :D

I LOLed...

The major difference between the 2500 and the 2500K is the multiplier as he said. The only problem is that the Sandybridge processors were built in such a way that you can barely get any FSB boost out of the CPU. The only foolproof way to OC is to raise the multiplier of the Turbo Boost on these chips.

In other words, the extra $5 for the 2500K would have been well worth it. :-?

Oh well...

Yeah the "k" version allows for very simple overclocking. I have mine at 4.5GHz on air running at normal temps.
