Problem of Choice

If you are a beginner overclocker and you’ve already got a PC, it’s both good and bad. It’s bad because you can’t change anything while even one weak component, e.g. a low-wattage power supply, can be an insurmountable obstacle to overclocking the whole system. It’s good because you don’t have to face the problem of choice.

This is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make when putting together your overclocking-ready system. There are thousands of factors to be taken into account like the range of currently available components, the comparative worth of different models, the pricing, the ease of assembly, upgrade opportunities, and even the exterior design. It is rather simple and easy to overclock a PC, but it’s very hard to pick up an optimal combination of hardware parts.

Fortunately, discussing this goes beyond the subject of this article. I’ll only touch upon it again when the choice of parts will determine the choice of an overclocking method.
