Motherboard: Gigabyte 970a-ds3p (rev 2.0)
CPU: fx 6300
Graphics card: gtx 960 2gb
(Planning to purchase the gtx 1060 3gb single fan soon)
CPU cooler: hyper 212 evo
I won’t be upgrading anything after the graphics card for another year or two, so it should last a long time. I’ve heard overclocking can reduce the lifespan of both CPU and motherboard.

you might attempt to increase performance slightly, but be aware that the memory's limited power supply will restrict the CPU's capabilities.

I believe 4.3 to 4.4 GHz is quite attainable.
