I am looking to build my first PC in the next month or so and have spent the last week or so getting clued up on the various parts. Unfortunately i have issues with working out what is compatible and so forth.

I am looking for an Intel i5/i7 build and would like to try overclocking.

The PC will be mainly used for gaming, no video editing and the like. Any help with selecting the parts would be greatly appreciated.

My budget is around £800 (1300USD or so).

Thanks in advance.

P.S what can be reasonably expected from a current overclock in terms of ghz that can be run 24/7 for about 4 years?
