I just got a new video card for my desktop and I am pretty new to overclocking, but I want to ensure that my games will play to its full potential.

My specs are:
AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core Processor 3.8GHz
MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)
8GB RAM
EVGA GTX 770 SC

If anymore specs are needed I can let you know.

i see. i already overclocked to 4.0ghz. i think its fine the core temp reads a min of 34 and max 61. i wanted to bump it up to 4.5 but if my mother board is that crappy maybe i shouldnt?

Precisely. I'm honestly surprised you've gotten it to 4Ghz. If you don't want your PC dying then I suggest leaving it where it is.
