Running the following:

MSI 760GMA-P34 FX
AMD FX-8350 currently @ stock speed
Getting a Corsair H55 (not the best cooling per dollar ratio, but it was free from Newegg and a big upgrade from the stock cooler.)
Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 960 2GB
Corsair Vengence 8 GB DDR3 1600
Rosewill Glacier 600M
Seagate 1TB SSHD
LEPA Smok Series LPC309 Case

I am guessing this board would not be safe no OC on. If so, I am not too upset but would like to look into future motherboard upgrades. I heard the 970 / 990 boards would be a good choice, I am just not too sure which one would give me the best bang for my buck for my current situation. I am not looking to go absolutely insane overclocking, but I minds as well take advantage of it if i can safely do so.

Any information is much appreciated.

Thanks a ton in advance.

No there is no way that you could OC on that board. You'd be lucky to get full clock speed with a 125w cpu on it. Not all 970 series motherboards are good either. I recommend the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P, MSI 970 Gaming, ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance, or Asus M5A97 R2.0

That's what I figured. :(

Thanks for the quick response.

Any of the boards you mentioned would be just fine?
If so, I am just going to compare them by price.

Just trying to get the best bang-for-my-buck.

Thanks again.
