OC AMD FX 6300 paired with ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2
Hello everyone, here are the details of my PC:
1- MMO asus m5a99fx pro r2
2- AMD FX-6300
3- G Skill 8gb (2×4gb) RAM running on 2133 dual channel
4- ASUS Radeon 7790, 1GB
5- Cool Master 212 evo.
My questions are:
1- How do I overclock the processor?
2- Would replacing the RAM to 16GB (2×8GB) G Skill Trident x 2400 help?
3- I’m considering upgrading to a GPU, but the budget for R9 390 is high. I read it might be worth it to crossfire R7 260x 2GB with my card 7790. Will the performance justify the extra $120 compared to the XFX Radeon R7 260x?
Thanks for your help.
Check if the processor is Black Edition first. This is the edition

CountryMike is asking whether the processor is compatible with the Black Edition. He has the same motherboard and processor, uses a Corsair H100i GTX, SSD drives, 12GB RAM, Windows 10, and several graphics cards connected to the motherboard. He wants advice despite being new to this setup.
