I have a FX 6300 on stock cooler, and i was wondering if i disable 2 core and overclocked it to 4-4.2ghz would i get more fps in intensive games?

why would u disable 2 cores ..... lol

Mainly what makes more fps in games is you gpu ... 7770 is low end gpu .. so don't expect to get high fps with that.. why u did not get the 7790 its pretty decent that 7770 .. anyway

if you want to get more fps in games .. get a stronger gpu .. thats it ..overclocking the 6300 won't make a huge diff really ..

I had a budget on £80 and by doing research the hd 7770 was the best card for the money, But if i disable two core it will give me less heat so that means i can overclock more and because games are not initialized for 6 cores yet theres no point have them 2 extra cores for the time being.
 


Have you overclocked before? It's not recommended to do it on the stock cooler, at all. A CM Hyper 212 EVO sells for around £25 and you should be able to get a mild overclock, however I can't promise noticeable performance gains. What's your motherboard? If it has bad power phases / VRMs then you can't overclock.
