[mohit9206]

fx-4300, fx-6300 etc are highly overclockable and are relatively cheap as well

 

[skitz9417]

is a fx 4100 good for overclocking

If your going intel.
i5 3570k

AMD
FX-6300

Don't go Bulldozer, if your going to go AMD, get something that is Piledriver, like an FX 4300 or FX 6300

 

[skitz9417]

um kiowa789 i will take ur suggest but the i5 3570k is 225 dollars way outof my price

my budget is 300 dollars aud

heres what i was thinking of fx 4300,Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 AM3+,h40,serpon 145 for bios update if needed

I second the FX-6300, technically all the FX processors I know of are overclockable and all K edition Intel processors are overclockable.

Edit: Not the best board for overclocking...

Swap your Mobo
Preferably the M5A97 Motherboard.
FX 4300 is what you want, good choice.
Not entirely sure about the H40.

Otherwise, everything else looks good!

Well my only concern is the board you have is not for overclocking enthusiasts, though I recall hearing the board can achieve somewhere like a 10% overclock.

well i do have a cm hyper tx3 evo right now

which one are u talking about social fox

 

[socialfox]

I'd suggest getting a motherboard with VRM heatsinks and a higher power phase than the current one. I have the M5A78L-M LX PLUS and I can tell you not to overclock, I killed my first one with a hefty overclock of 4 ghz on the Phenom II X4 955.

Edit: I believe the 10% overclock was for your currently selected board, will look around to verify that right now.

M5A97 Motherboard

Wait are you planning on getting that board? If so that's a great board to overclock on, its also got VRM heatsinks.
