System specifications include a Core i7 5820k processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM from GSKILL, an Asrock Fatal1ty X99X Killer motherboard with 3.1, a Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, a Zotac GTX 1070 AMP graphics card, a Corsair rmx 750 Watt power supply, and games such as BF1, 4, 3, Siege, and War Thunder.
nope, you dont need to, but if you see low fps then you should, but thats a very nice cpu and you shouldnt see low fps on it, but overclocking it would up the fps for sure!
I agree with heavyartillary9, that the build should be smooth, don't forget to click on his as the best solution.
The CPU isn't related to the resolution. If you experience low FPS in certain game areas, you should overclock. For games, close at least two cores from the BIOS and aim for the highest possible GHz.
This configuration allows smooth 1440p gaming. Your GPU usage should stay under 50%, with about 95% of your game time spent in that range.
