Hey there, I'm looking to upgrade my AMD FX-8350 and two GTX 970 graphics cards. I'm planning to overclock them for better performance. For cooling, I have a Corsair H100i GTX. I'm aiming for stable speeds around 4.5-4.7 GHz and have a budget between $150 and $200 USD. I was thinking the MSI 990FXA Gaming, but I've heard it might only support 6+2. Since I'm new to overclocking, I'm unsure about choosing the right board or all the important factors. Thanks for your help!

The EVGA 850W Gold GPU will have enough space around it for the GPU to touch or not, depending on the specific setup.

If you prefer, I can space them out; otherwise, I'll keep the original format.
