How much do you intend to overclock?
Click to expand...
Would be playing games like : Bioshock Infinite, Arkham Origins, Far Cry 3, GTA5, COD, NFS series etc...
Plan to mildly oc it till 4.2 but thats 6-8 months down the line. SO I think buying custom cpu cooler at that time would be better...
 
A little change in plans...

As of now finalised following components:

Procci: i7 4770k
GPU: Sapphire Tri-X 290
PSU: Seasonic X-750 (Corsair VX550 won't be sufficient I guess, + its 3yr old. Any better alternatives to this?)

Still confused about motherboard.

Should I go with Asus Z87 Pro / Maximus VI Hero or any better alternative is available in this category?

Decided to go for i7, 290 & mainstream mobo just for the sake of "Futureproofing"... Will be keeping this RIG for 5-6 years...
