Hello Tom's Hardware,
Two years ago I got the HP P6-2136 and slowly upgraded it with a Radeon 7770 and a Corsair 430W PSU.
Recently, it's been having problems, and I believe the motherboard to be failing, so I'm looking to upgrade it. With the help of a friend, I've decided on this build where the only three components I'd be buying are the FX 8320, ASROCK 970, and the case. The rest of the components (from the hard drive to the RAM) would be supplied from my old computer.
PC part picker is showing no real compatibility issues, but I've heard that the motherboard doesn't provide enough power for overclocking.
I'm not looking to OC, so would it be perfectly fine with the stock FX 8320?
All help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
