eggcream is on a distinguished road

Default Overclock build.

Working on putting together a budget computer that I'm going to overclock. I'm looking for at least a 30% increase from the overclocking. I'm just wondering what the basics of overclocking are and what types of hardware are best for it. I know cooling is a big issue when overclocking but what else is a factor. Also wondering what the difficulty of overclocking is considering this will be my first attempt at it. My last question is, is it worth buying a computer bellow your standers to overclock to your standers, or should I just build something that meets my standers at its stock ratings and I could overclock it higher. Thanks for the help everyone.
