Looking to upgrade my PC and will probably go with a 2600 for my CPU. Is it possible/recommended to overclock to stock 2600X power on a B450 motherboard with an aftermarket CPU cooler or is X470 worth the extra $50-100?
 
Solution
honestly, you will be fine either way and the money would be better spent on faster or more RAM. or possibly getting a better GPU. to do any decent overclocking, you want to get another cooler for sure. I like the Corsair AIO's like the h115i, it's overkill but i like'm anyways
