Will there be any major performance drops in gaming if I choose to get the FX 6300? The GPU will be the Radeon 7950.

Hi. I was just wondering if the FX 6300 would bottleneck the GTX 760 in any way for next gen games like Battlefield 4. Should I just spend an extra $30 and get the FX 8320 or am I fine? I do plan on overclocking the FX 6300 and GTX 760 if i choose to get them.

So I have been seeing videos on youtube talking about how the Ivy Bridge CPU's have been getting very bad temperatures. I have seen how replacing the thermal paste on the CPU's can improve temperatures from 30-40 degrees. I was just wondering what is the most safe and best performing thermal paste for this task. I was thinking about the Arctic Cooling MX4 paste, but eh, I don't know.

Would the ASUS Fan Xpert 2 program work on Gigabyte 990FX motherboards?

The open air cooling system on the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870, does it need a case with a side panel fan blowing air on top of it? I was thinking of getting a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. It has a windowed side panel with no fan mounts. I wont have any hard drive cages installed which leaves two 140mm fans on the front intake giving cool air to the back of the card. Do I need a fan cooling the top of it? Even though it already has 3 fans cooling the heatsink?

Will MSI Afterburner work with Gigabyte graphics cards?

I saw that the Kingston Hyperx Black memory's voltage is set at 1.65 volts. On PcPartPicker, it says that the I5 3570k and the Kingston Black memory is not compatible because the recommended voltage maximum is 1.5 Volts. Will this damage my motherboard or CPU? Or just effect performance? Why not both? (Mexican Music)

I want to play games like Battlefield 3 and later in the year Battlefield 4 maxed out at 60FPS +. Also, which is more overclock friendly?
