If you're overclocking (which you should be doing). You can skip the PSU but I suggest getting it if you can afford it.

You're not thunderball!

But Horias if we're talking about WoW then yes you will see a small performance gain by overclocking. But yeah you'd have to tell us what GPU you're using and what games you are planning on playing.

I merged your new thread with your existing thread.

Yes, and with your setup you absolutely must overlock, otherwise a good quarter of your budget spend is a waste.

Okay how much should i overclock ?

[Thunderball]

Okay how much should i overclock ?

4.5-4.6 depending on your room temps.

Very much so depends on how your CPU binned and what kind of cooling you have. But I can get my 6700k to 4.5GHz comfortably and 4.6-4.7GHz if i'm willing to run pretty hot. But I'd look up some guides and do small increases and then test and you should be a-okay.

Here's a video that explains it decently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjIweExETlI
(I know some people dislike Linus but this video explains overclocking in a fairly straight foward manor and happens to be a 6700k aswell)

Yes you should most definitely overclock, it will net you a nice performance gain in WoW. But you should be fine without overclocking.

Okay so i only need to overclock cpu for more Preformance / FPS?

Yes overclocking your CPU for WoW would net you a few more fps.

Okay but how many fps are im getting ? 10 or more ?

[Mythbredor]

Okay but how many fps are im getting ? 10 or more ?

Depends on how much you overclock, hard to say for sure.

I've heard it said that each .1 GHz will raise your FPS by about 1%. Not entirely sure how true or accurate that is though. If is is accurate though, a 4.5 GHz overclock should raise your FPS by 3%, since the Turbo on the 6700k is already at 4.2.
