IS there anything that i can overclock or download to improve my performance. Im happy with my PC right now but i just want to know if i could improve it if i wanted to. I don't know if my specs are showing so ill just say what i have. My GPU is r9 270x TOXIC, CPU is fx 6300 and i have it OC to 4.3. My mother board is Asus M5A97 Le R2.0, and i have 8GB of 1600 G.Skill Ripjaws. I know i can go further with my cpu but i really don't want to risk it. Thank you

The FX-6300 OC'd can handle a R9-280/280X. That would be the easiest upgrade for frame rate improvement. Moving to the FX-8320/50 would be another increase. The "new" 95W FX-8370 should be arriving this week (tomorrow?). It may allow a bit better OC'ing due to lower TDP. Then you could use any gfx card. But basically, gaming is all about the GPU if you have an adequate CPU.

never mind im done lol, i just restarted my pc and for some reason it said "overclocking failed". I have being using my fx 6300 at 4.3 for about 3 months now and had no problems. I restarted my pc again and everything worked but does that mean anything?

In your profile you can create a signature that will show in each post, go to top right of page where your name is and click on your name and then manage my profile, then personal info.

OCing failed could be a lot of things, most generally that your settings are off a little, again generally a lack of voltage to CPU, bad DRAM settings, etc
