Specs:
CPU: FX-6300 6-Core 3.5 GHz
MOBO: MSI 760GMA-P34 AM3+ http://
PSU: Antec 450w
Ram: 8GB DDR3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz
GPU: MSI GTX 750ti 2GB
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

So I'm upgrading my gpu pretty soon ( probably to a 1060 or rx 480, not sure yet) And I know my CPU is going to bottleneck both of those cards so until I can upgrade my mobo and cpu do you think itd be wise to attempt and overclock with my motherboard? I know pretty much nothing about how to overclock so if it IS wise...some beginner points or a BIOS guide or something would be appreciated!
Games played : Mostly FPS titles such as BF1, Overwatch etc

I wouldn't risk it. That board is really bad quality, the only thing you can do is maybe increase the multiplier by 0.5 and keep a 100mhz overclock. I highly recommend you do not add voltage!! As long as you dont add any voltage then you should be good but i doubt you will be able to make it to 4ghz on stock voltage. So try increasing multiplier only and be happy with whatever you can get from stock. Dont forget to stress test it and make sure its stable.

I personally wouldn't MSI is known to have some boards explode or burst into flames because they use crappy caps and mosfets. The board doesn't have vrm heatsinks meaning the boards gonna heat up and AMD boards are also known to heat heat up because of the Northridge. So you shouldn't overclock. You should save up and get a better motherboard.
