I've went through so many forum posts but none of them either answer my question or confuse me. I'm building a PC for gaming (Dayz,Csgo,Gmod,Dota,Cod,BF4,Fallouts etc etc.) I am looking to continue streaming and recording but without frame drops and decent settings on these games. my budget is around 150 bucks, would also like help with Graphics card possibly? want 1080p easy and it be quiet, duel monitor budget around 200-250. thanks! also have a full intel build that needs a CPU ask for specs!

Specs:
CPU: unknown
MOBO: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Red 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive & Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Graphics card:Unknown
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power supply:Unknown, still working through all parts
OS: Windows7 home premium, hopefully going to upgrade to windows 10
Monitor: Acer G236HLBbd 60Hz 23.0" Monitor & old pc monitor for second.

There are tons of guides about Overclocking you CPU especially the AMD FX line of CPUs. Also the 990FX have a few more features and tend IMHO to be better quality boards depending on maker, I personally use an Asrock Extreme 6.

That motherboard is bad , please do not get it
better option is Asus M5A97 r2.0
more better option is Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 which can OC better than the m5a97 r2.0
If budget allows go for an asus 990FX board
Get 8320 + hyper 212 evo cpu cooler and OC to 8350 level , should be easy
or get a 8350 and hyper 212 evo cooler if budget allows
stock fan on the 8320/50 is pretty loud and noisy

Isn't the m5a97 r2.0 cheaper than the ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ?
Where are you buying from ?
I think the GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P is cheaper on newegg it is way better than any other 970 motherboard . probably the best 970 motherboard out there
