How much roughly would I need to spend...

To future proof a machine for the next few years and run current games at excellent quality? 1,000-1,500 or thereabouts? Assuming 1080p resolution and other such and from scratch with monitor and so on.

Have same cooler m8. It's great for the price.
Did you put half speed resistors on your cooler?
I oced it only to 4.2 and even so, I don't see much point in that as I play 99% on my pc and 1% random crap.

Jesus, I wish i could get bored at that time m8. Can't remember last time I wasnt in bed by 22:00 )).

I do enough video conversion for the Apple TV and XBox to make it fairly useful and some of the games I play benefit quite a bit from an oc'd CPU (i.e. Skyrim atm).

I tried both with the half speed resistors and without them. Noise is still acceptable without them, though noticeably louder alright.

And believe me you don't want to get bored at 5am. Well, not when it's not by choice anyway!

Nice overclock! You got the voltage down a fair bit from what it was too. Congrats.
