Well welcome among us!
The i5 750 is probably the best CPU I've had. And I've had many computers (I need work machines for video edition, etc). I OCs it to 3.6 and it's still a perfectly capable computer. Even the 16gb ram is overkill for the games I play, and I basically can play any games I'm interested in.
Whenever the topic of hardware comes up, I proudly mention this i5. Make sure to spread the gospel, we are legions!
Thanks!
I often run mine with the boost deactivated at 2.6 GHz. Still plenty for most games. At least the good ones :D I probably should repaste it before seriously overclocking, though. Do you have a specific cooler? Mine is still trapped beneath the stock cooler, it never seemed worth it to spend money on that. And for the RAM, I would still be using 8 GB if it wasn't for Beyond All Reason, which complains if your system has less than 12 GB.
Don't worry, I mention it on every possible occasion :D
