I have an FX-4100, an MSI-970A-G43, and a Hyper TX3. What do you think the max is I can overclock this?? I am at 4.3 ghz but I want to know if I can go any higher. According to HWMonitor, the hottest my cpu has been was 36 degrees, which I believe was at maybe 95% for like 15 minutes. I want to go a little further because I am getting a new video card because I am using an 8500gt i got for free right now :)P) and I want to eliminate any possible bottleneck when I do get a new video card (HD 7770 or 7790, maybe one of their new ones they announces today). Thanks.

You could possibly go higher. My advice (and it seems others) is just go as high as you can while keeping temps low. However, a 4100 at 4.3 is pretty good.
