I'm using an Fx6300 with an MSI 970A-G43 board. I've looked into it and found that the 970A-G43 doesn't have VRM, making it a poor option for overclocking. I'm thinking about getting a Gigabyte 970A Gaming board to overclock. (Sorry for the unclear English)

If you can sell the MSI one, do it. Purchase the ga 970a gaming MB—it works well for the fx6300 and even the fx8320. Don't worry about the vote down. Our site included the review:

The MSI MB should work well with the fx6300. You can choose between two ways to cool the VRMs: either purchase heatsinks if available, such as the link provided, or install a small fan as suggested. For a similar option, you can consider the GA 970 gaming MB, though it's not recommended for the fx6300 due to its low price.

Sorry, I didn't mean to reject that. I'm just starting out on these forums.
What would happen if I offered to sell my current mobo to a friend?
Is the Ga 970 Gaming a suitable option for you?

Thanks for your question!
The liquid cooling unit with the 120mm fan and 240mm size does have a noticeable gap.
You're considering ID Cooling's model and comparing the Super Flower Silver 550W with the Corsair Cx650M—what do you think is better?

For your fx6300, either 120mm or 240mm works well, with minimal difference since it has a lower TDP. For the PSU, the Super flower silver 550W is an option, though it might cost significantly more.

Sure, I've matched the price and made a slight adjustment for my country. I might choose the super flower silver 550w model!

The difference between Ga 970 Gaming and Ga 970 Gaming Sli lies in the included accessories. The Sli version comes without the case, while the standard model includes a case.

They are almost identical, but the model you wish to purchase is compatible only with AMD GPUs, while the other option supports either CF or SLI. Apologies for that.
