Hello! I got few questions: Is my Psu powerful enough to do overclocking? Best cooler for overclocking? (around 40e). And can this system run newish titles Ultra on 1080p?
Im looking to overclock it atleast to 4.2 Ghz

Cpu: Amd fx-8350
Psu: Crossair tx750
Mobo: ASRock 970 EXTREME4
Gpu: Amd radeon r9 280x?
Thx for help! :)

the 8350 overclocks on turbo to around 4.2 but I figure it would be more stable and better overclock switching that and other settings off... I've clocked mine to 4.5 with a stock fan and at stock voltage on a much worse psu, im NOT in anyway saying you should do the same as its not a cheap fix should anything go wrong.
get a decent cpu cooler check out the tier list on the forum read a few how 2's and have a go, I suggest you gently tease up the multiplier rather than mess with the fsb settings as it will over clock your ram too, also don't forget to lock in your vcore voltage.

again read up everything you need to so you don't mess anything up and blow something theres a wealth of information on here and elsewhere just a click away
