How far would I be able to overclock said cpu?
I have a GA-F2A88XM-D3CH motherboard and a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO CPU Cooler.
What GPU should I get after overclocking to 4.0 ghz?
RX 480 8gb or GTX 1060 3gb?

No one can answer that question. Due to manufacturing process variations every chip is very, very slightly different. Some overclock not at all and some overclock very well.

Overclocking is all about removing heat and there are many things that affect that other than the CPU cooler. Cooling is all about getting heat out of the case and that's also dependent on the configuration of all the components in the box, how well the air flows over the individual parts, and the ambient temperature of the air going into the case, among others.

Be sure to read the disclaimers about overclocking on the CPU and motherboard and be aware you can permanently damage components in the machine when overclocking.

Here's a quick guide...
