I'm exploring how to assemble a budget PC capable of overclocking, but I'm not sure about all the necessary components yet. I understand the CPU is unlocked and ready for overclocking, but I'm unsure if my selected motherboard can handle temperatures above 4.0Ghz. Additionally, I'm wondering if there are ways to reduce costs while still getting good value from the build.

I'm not completely confident about the low-profile fan, but I upgraded your PSU to a superior model and replaced the cooler with a better one in a case that fits it.

you possess the correct motherboard. the only graphics cards you can successfully overclock are those with Z170 chipsets. be sure to investigate your motherboard to confirm its suitability for overclocking.

I’m still a bit uncertain about the low-profile fan, but I did upgrade your PSU to a superior model and replaced the cooler with a case that fits it better.
