MSI 970A G43
R7 260x (1200 MHz base, 1400 MHz OC, aim for at least 1300MHz)

You can't increase the speed beyond what's built-in, no heatsinks for the power supply... Sorry.

You can't increase the speed beyond what's built in, no heatsinks on the VRM... Sorry.
My copy of MSI 970A-G43 seems to have VRM ready.
