Why So Serious ???
@OP - Maximus V Gene is the best choice in this price bracket for Overclocking. It'll limit you for expansion slots only when you decide to go for SLI setup. When you'll plug in two cards, you wont be able to use sound card. But are you sure you want a sound card ? The in built solution in maximus v gene is very good.

CM Hyper 212 Evo is the best VFM basic cooler. 4GHz is very safe on it.

i have a question.. is corsair tx 650v2 enough for gtx 660ti and amd fx+ overclocking? or should i go for corsair tx 750v2??
Click to expand...

tx650v2 is more than enough. A GS600 will also do with sufficient headroom to spare
