Hi I am looking to spend some money and upgrade a component or two in my current pc build, I will be using mostly multi application/video editing with it along with some gaming

-I would like a new cpu as I need more compute power, and want to overclock higher. So if someone could suggest a new and better Cpu Motherboard combo as well that would be great.
-What would be the next best water cooler for my cpu
-Does anyone know if/how I can overclock my ram currently untouched at 1866mhz
-What are some good gaming monitors at 1080 and 1440p

Cpu: fx 6300 @ 4.5ghz
Mobo:M5A97 R.20
Ram:Kingston hyperx Fury 16 gb (2x8) 1866mhz
Video card: HD7850 2gb 950 mhz

That's what I need then. I heard some people say the 6300 is better at video rendering then then 4690k and even 4790k.

What motherboard would you suggest to go with it? something that looks good
