Is there a way to know how much I can OC my CPU? I'll be running an FX 8320 with a Hyper TX3 cooler and a GTX 760 GPU. Corsair CX600W PSU to power it all.

you can search to see what others have achieved, but your results will vary. Don't assume that you'll be able to achieve the same OC as others with similar setup. Make sure you do things incrementally.

There's not a definitive way to tell. Every chip is different. Some people can get over 4.6-4.8 with the 8320 and some can't. It just depends on the bin of that particular chip. Just experiment with it, but make sure your core temp is below 62c. I have an 8350 and can run 4.5-4.6 on stock voltage. AMD chips are usually good for an extra 300-400 Mhz without adding any voltage.
You could probably get your to 4.0-4.1 on stock voltage. Probably get it all the way up to 4.4-4.5 with pushing the voltage to 1.45-1.48. Maybe higher mayber lower. It's a crap shoot.
Also, your motherboard can become a big factor when trying to go with really high overclocks.
