Hi everyone, I'm planning a build on PC Part Picker for around the £450 mark. I've settled on most of the components apart from the mobo. Originally I was looking at the MSI 970A- G43 however due to recent ideas of overclocking the FX 6300, I've found out via reviews that the board gets very hot. I'd be planning to use a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo plus thermal paste to help cool the cpu.

I've used a comparison website to see which one in the £70 price range is best but it's missing some detail so I was wondering if any of you would have any advice.

Thanks very much in advance.

I would pick MSI 970 gaming ,Tier One-Class A board ,good quality ,good feature ,nice audio ,good for overclock ,good rating and good value.

Tier One-Class A: Very High quality. Great boards for OCing, have optional SLI capability but more importantly can OC FX 8 well, if you have to get a 970 chipset board, these will be your top choice. High quality, and no overheating issues.
