About the only thing I'd suggest doing differently is just building the thing yourself if you can save any money at all. If you have a local computer store that will price-match online parts prices, then do that so that you don't have to worry about component-testing issues.
And with that saved money, buy a more "XS"ivey "Kooler" custom water setup to chase the following goals:
Even higher OC frequency to ensure that not only do you run games at full speed, you do it with headroom for busy sequences or slightly wrong settings.
Quietest possible water loop and case so you can enjoy game soundtrack more than fan hiss (any audible noise is unwanted noise).
I was planning on building it myself but there barely seems to be any additional cost in receiving it pre-built with everything tuned and tested and it's a nice time saver!
So is there value for Dolphin in overclocking the i5-4670k as high as possible? Is there a 'sweet spot' where it wouldn't be worth it to overclock it any further?
