Hello. I'm thinking about doing some tuning to my pc but i'm not sure where to start. I have a
FX-6300 with stock heatsink/fan and a Galaxy GT 640 paired up with MSI 760GM-P23. The main game i ever play on it is Starcraft 2.

What i want to do is increase performance without buying any components. Should i overclock it? Should i lock some CPU's? I have noticed the usage between the cpu's is not even for example CPU 1,2,3 is at 60% while 4 and 5 are at 20% and cpu 6 is 0%(Not the exact percentages). I feel that my CPU is the issue because my GPU never reaches 60% if i remember right.

Any suggestions?
