Hey guys, I want to overclock my FX-8320E from 3.2 ghz to 4.0 ghz. How of a frames increase would I see with a GTX 950 2GB and 8GB RAM in games like The Division?

I would not buy a new motherboard just to overclock the same CPU - if you're going to get a new motherboard, you might as well save up until you can get a faster CPU to go with it. You'd get a few FPS here and there with the overclock, but it won't be worth the money you're shelling out.

I can't do that yet because I am currently using an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard, where the VRMs don't even have heatsinks. I am determining whether it will be worth getting a better motherboard such as the MSI 970 Gaming for overclocking, which is the purpose of this thread.
