heres The Major problem is my cheap msi 760gm mobo it has a hard time keeping me at 3800 ghz with out over heating the north bridge so I was thinking More fans better cable management would do the trick?

here is the second thing I'm considering buying

keep my current psu and buy 3 fans then I would be able to over clock my cpu with this mobo but only problem is I have to reset my heat sink and re install all my games. So what do you guys think i should do new mobo for better over clocking or new case in fans they come to the same price range.

You should spend the money on a a new motherboard and an fx-6300. Forget buying a case right now.

I can't get the fx6300 because I need windows key or is there a way going around it?

Get an MSI 970a-g46. You should not have to reinstall windows because the motherboard is still an MSI board. Just have to install the new motherboard drivers. I have done this successfully with intel based MSI boards before.

just remember i got 300 bucks to spend in how would I reinstall the drivers or do they do it automatic? also how is the cooling on that board would i be able to over clock in does it support the new fx chips?

The motherboard comes with a driver install disc.

Y3s it supports the new FX CPUs and the cooling is MUCH better than your board. Just make sure to get the G46 not G43 model.

well I hope your right because If I dont buy the windows key im screwed if it dont work.
can I also buy a 990fx msi board in get away with just reinstalling the drivers ?

Probably. It should work, but I will definitely not give you a 100% on it. It worked for me, but I switched between pretty similar boards. There is the chance it will not work.

The reason I recommend changing the board is to upgrade your CPU. The 4100 was pretty much junk when it came out. AMD even said this themselves. The 6300 will be great and support higher end GPUs without being a bottleneck.

Thanks for the tips I'm getting the 990fx board in keeping my current cpu I will have to save up for the 6300 but should be another month before I can buy it.

Sounds good. After you get a 6300, The next thing to upgrade the the GPU and PSU.
