Hi, I'm trying to improve my PC's performance without needing a major upgrade. I have an AMD FX-6300 at 3.5ghz, a GeForce GTX 1070, 16GB DDR3 RAM, and a Corsair CX600M PSU. I usually play games at 1080p to 1440p. I'm considering getting an AIO liquid cooler and overclocking the CPU, but only if it actually helps my gaming speed. Any advice would be great!

Even the top-tier overclocked fx processors can manage 1070 back. I don't suggest overclocking mainly due to the poor quality of my power supply.
