Hi, my current build is fx 8150 liquid cooled with Asus M5A78L-MUSB3 and hd7950

I know the mobo is not good for overclocking so i'm wondering whether i should change to a Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and overclock it to 4.2 ghz.

Would this be a good idea or should i buy a fx 8350 and Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with a coolermaster hyper evo.

Or is my mobo and cpu ok and just upgrade my gpu ?

Also what is the stock liquid cooler like on the fx 8150 for overclocking ?

I know it's a lot of questions and you probably get this all the time so massive thanks in advance

Its not worth it to spend that much money on a mobo for just a little more oc. And, in my opinion, its also not worth it to get the 8350 with a new mobo, its a dead socket, yes a very good one, but still. If you are planning on upgrade i would suggest you get an intel i5 and a mobo.

But, if you want a better gaming experience you should change the gpu, the cpu is fine, get something like a 290 or a 970 and you are going to see a big difference.
