Will my processor hold back?

That case, PSU, and motherboard should all work fine. The motherboard is a decent upgrade, so I would get it. You do not HAVE to OC your CPU, but it might create a bottleneck if you don't, although that is not really bad.

This is a video about bottlenecking. To overclock, you need to go into BIOS when booting and change the CPU clock speed, CPU voltage, and if you want, change the RAM speed, RAM voltage, GPU speed, GPU RAM speed, etc.

What I think, you might wanna overclock your FX to at least 4.2ghz or 4.5ghz the best to minimize the bottlenecking possibility. Get a GTX770 instead, if you prefer Nvidia. They are basically the same card with higher clock and better made. Also check out this card AMD R9 280x. Both 770 and 280x perform pretty much the same.

Looking again, the Gigabyte DOES have better specs for cheaper. Get the Gigabyte. It should fit in a mid tower case. What case do you have? It will probably fit in your case if you remove the top hard-drive bays. If you OC your CPU, you should be fine.

Umm, Since i am gonna get the Gigabyte, i was going to basically get a new case and PSU because why not. I was thinking of THIS CASE: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19881&cPath=547

(IS it good?)

and with the Antec PSU.


But get this MOBO for it? Is it better than my current ga-78lmt-s2p?

Do i have to OC my CPU. Because i have no idea of how to do it AND i am really scared of breaking my computer.
