Specs:
CPU: FX-6300 6-Core 3.5 GHz ( stock ) w/ Hyper 212 EVO Cooler
MOBO: MSI 760GMA-P34 AM3+
PSU: Antec 450w
Ram: 8GB DDR3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz
GPU: MSI GTX 750ti 2GB
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit


So this friday I'm upgrading my gpu to an rx 470 and I fear my cpu will be bottlenecking the card in games. So, because I cant afford to upgrade to an i5 6500 ( my next hardware goal), the best I can do now is probably just overclock my cpu. But as you can see, my current mobo isn't suited for overclocking ( I've seen youtube videos on doing it with this motherboard, but after asking on Tom's Hardware I was advised not to ).

So what is a good motherboard for overclocking? I'd like if the price of the board was below 80 dollars, as I just want something stable. It doesn't have to have fancy LED's or anything is what I'm saying haha ( but that's a plus!)

That $80 would be put to better use if you just put it towards you Intel upgrade. The FX-6300 is not going to significantly bottleneck your new graphics card. However, if you're that concerned about it. Test your new graphics card with the processor and current motherboard and then decide if you want to still upgrade for overclocking.
