I am looking to OC my FX6300 to about 4.3-4.4 Ghz maybe even 4.5(but stable) on this motherboard which again is M5A78L-M LE . I understand that this motherboard is not an overclocking motherboard in fact it is a very cheap motherboard in the US or some where else, but in my country it was sadly enormously expensive when put side to side with other prices in the world. Bit off topic so lets get back on track, I am planning on buying an enermax black twister which according to some reviews is a pretty good aftermarket cooler.

If it matters my case is the super viper mid tower only has one case fan which exhausts heat out of the case. My power supply is a LC power supply 600W non-modular which makes cable managing hell and since we are talking cables my case is not very good with hiding this stuff so I have the CPU connector very visible and some other cables which would in a way interfere with airflow. This might be just nonsense but I want you guys to know what's up so I can get the help I need-Hell if you guys want a picture, you got it.

I have been looking at other threads but I can't seem to find specifically this motherboard and CPU, the closest I got was M5A78L-M/USB3 and fx 8350 and the answer was helpful but just not enough for me.

With a good enough cooler, PSU, and proper BIOS tweaking, you can reach that speed.

Which one do you recommend I have a hd 7870 as well for a GPU that I OC with this PSU and it was ok. :)  Is the CORSAIR Series CX600M decent ?

600 watts should be enough.
