Hi all,
Been looking for ways to get more performance for less money on my first gaming desktop build. Link below. My plan was to get a lesser cpu/gpu and overclock them rather than buying say an i5 4690k and a gtx770 or better

Goals are to run COD AW, black flag, titanfall, bf4 etc at 30+ fps as close to max graphics settings as I can.

Anything I should change if I wanna overclock?

I'd say you have it pretty well decided. Going with an AMD platform will keep the price lower than Intel. And the board is a good OC'er with its 8+2 phasing. The H60 is what I'm using on the FX-8350 in my sig below. So it will do a good job on the FX-6300 temps too. I also have an R9-280 on another machine, so I know what it is capable of. Looks good to me.
The only thing I'd change is the case. And that is just a personal choice thing. I don't like cases with no room behind the MB tray for cable management.
