In my opinion, Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3 and 4 will be the best options to throw at

Watched my bro play it maxed out 100% on his 280x and it didnt look anything special, BF4, ROME2, even the witcher 2 looks so much better, thief just doesnt look great, it doesnt look bad either

it looks pretty awesome on my gtx780 with everything up to the max, i'd say it looks better than BF4 tbh, but that's just my opinion

but you said you wanted something to test a system, thief will certainly do that on full settings, whether you think it looks good or not

Got to 4.5 at 1.37v. I think I'll stop at that

Playing B3 the temps hit 44 but as I am on a fan I may wait. I shall look into water cooling/radiators, something I know nothing about. I do know this MB is prepared for water though.

Thanks again for everyone's help/comments

HAHA yeah I was Buzzin. I'll have to look at water for sure. Every computer Ive built in the past 12 years has been above average with room to overclock and I'd never tried. I can see why they do it.
What really got me was the noticeable difference in speeds. I never would of expected. I always gauge via opening and operating Photoshop. Super fast. Allot of fun.
