Hey all,

Looking to upgrade my system for when the next gen comes around. Currently thinking of getting this build:

• AMD Radeon HD 7870 Tahiti LE GDDR5 2048MB DirectX 11 Graphics

A couple of questions about the GIGABYTE AMD 760G Express Chipset:

- Is this chipset compatible for the FX-8350 if i wish to upgrade in the future?
- Is this chipset compatible with the GTX 770/760 and 7970/7990 if i wish to upgrade?
- Is this MOBO cabable of overclocking the FX-6300 (and FX-8350 if i choose to upgrade)?
 
I don't know what "this MOBO" actually is, however I can tell you that the FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core is compatible. Some 760G motherboards do not support the use of 125 watt TDP CPU's, you would need to check the motherboard CPU support list. The FX-8350 has a 125 watt TDP (Thermal Design Power) rating whereas the FX-6300 is 95 watt.
