Hello, I would really like to have the MSI B450M MORTAR TITANIUM mobo, because it is so beautiful, and it will go in my black and white PC case. However, I just want to overclock the ryzen 5 2600 OR ryzen 5 2600x to 4.0/4.1ghz (please tell me which one is better for it, I'm budget oriented to the ryzen 5 2600 non x). Anyways, it has a 4+3 phase, which is really not the best for oc, but can it do ryzen 5 2600 to at least 4 ghz? Oh and btw, I just got a Palit Jetstream GTX 1070 Ti, which has 6 + 8 pin power connectors. I would like to overclock it, but just a little bit. How would the motherboard handle it? OH, and also please name me a budget good quality PSU that can be good for ryzen 5 2600 / X overclocked to 4ghz / 4.1ghz and for the palit gtx 1070 ti SMALL overclock. Thanks in advance.

Specific levels of overclock-ability are never guaranteed. You get what you get. If a certain overclock was attainable by ALL chips, then they would sell the chip at that clock speed, not a lower one.
As for a PSU, I would reccommend a 6-700 watt unit from tiers 1 or 2(certainly no lower than 3!) whatever you can afford from this list:

Of course, the 2600x is faster than the 2600. The question is: is it NOTICEABLY faster enough in the games YOU play, to justify the extra cost? I am assuming those graphs in the Youtube video are FPS graphs. If you have a 60Hz monitor, I submit that there will be NO difference that you can see, as ALL of the results were in excess of 60FPS. As a difference that makes no difference, is no difference, go with the less expensive chip. If you have a 144Hz monitor then go for the 2600x
