    About the power supply, I'd go for 500W as long as it's good quality. Here's a list of recommended power supplies.

    Considering the parts the shop was able to get, I ordered the computer a while ago:
    The parts are as follows:

    Mother Board - ASRock Z87
    Processor - i5 4670K
    Memory - 8GB
    Graphic Board - Gigabyte GTX 760
    Disk - 1TB

    I changed it up a bit on the cooler though, since they couldn't get any of the two suggested (Havik or the BeQuiet! one)

    Cooler - Corsair Hydro H60 (I was told at the shop this would ensure the computer wouldn't fry itself)


    It is a bit over the limit of my budget, but they said there's no problem with paying over 2 months if I can't pay all immediately.


    So... now, overclock settings? Any suggestions? I would like to get the most out of the computer, but only as long as I don't risk frying it.

    You wanna overclock the GPU and CPU or just the CPU?

    I was thinking just the CPU, I didn't know you could overclock the Graphics... is it worthwhile, as a WoW player and raider? Also if it is, how do I OC the GPU?

    Overclocking your GPU is not worth it at all, for wow atleast.

    This is the best guide IMO for overclocking your haswell CPU >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CHs5_TdpXE

    For WoW, no.
    For GPU-intensive games, yes.

    Watched that guide once so far. Will of course watch it a few more times, but what temperatures should I be aiming for? Anyway from what I understand it won't be a problem, overclocking to 4ghz or 4.3, assuming I don't get really unlucky If I just get it to 4.3, it won't really reduce the lifespan, correct?

    Also what temperature should I be aiming for?

    80C under Prime95 is pretty fine for daily usage.

    How long do I need to have Prime95 run in order to determine whether it's stable or not?

    One hour for a primary verification (temp checks or glaring instability) and overnight for final verifications should be fine.
