Howdy great people of the forums,

Done a little thinking and this is what I want for my build (went much farther in costs then I thought, but it will be well worth it), after making a previous thread on the forum.

(Already done research to see if these all work together, so that is not the issue here)
My only question that remains, does this total combination allow for good CPU overclocking/gaming?

AMD FX 6350 @3.9Ghz x6 (Intend to overclock to about at least 4.3-4.5Ghz)
Asus GTX 660 TI-DC2T-2GD5
RipJaws DDR3 1600 Mhz 8Gb (2x4)
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Corsair H100i Water Cooler
The Case: NZXT Tempest 210

Please do not recommend hardware that is not necessary, just want to know if this build can take overclocking & stable FPS in gaming :) 

Thanks a lot guys in advance ^^
Greetings,
Mike


EDIT: My Power is: Netzteil Thermaltake Berlin Series 630W

Howdy, thanks for answering :) 

Unfortunately that Mobo goes about above the $115 limit (80-90 Euros)
Can you recommend me another one that has the compatibility & good overclocking options?

Thanks again!

Hmmm so there really isn't any a bit cheaper?

Ah ok then, thanks a lot anyways :) 

Will it be abled to go AT LEAST 0.3Ghz higher?

Can't find hard info on this - did found someone who said he overclocked the FX 6300 on it up to 4.6Ghz, and on these forums I read that someone couldn't overclock..

EDIT: Running all of this is no problem on a "Thermaltake Berlin Series 630W"?

Possible if you have good cooling and a good chip.

Here's my FX8350 @ 5.1
