Is 4770k @ 4.25GHz enough?

Also, big important question—what games are you trying to run?

I have considered, I'm using H100i and the LED glows pink, sometimes even red. Current overclock temps 30c idle and maxing at 80c, will be playing a few games Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy 1/2 and considering buying Metroid Prime Trilogy to play.

I've tried re-seating the CPU cooler a couple of times, using Arctic MX-4 thermal paste applying only a pea size amount to the CPU after cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol.
