I need some clarification on overclocking. I have a fx-8120, and motherboard is 970A-ud3p

First here is a picture of the bios just so it can be clear for me of what I am suppose to do.

I would be changing the cpu clock ratio so it goes up each time to make sure it is stable

Would i disable the core performance boost?

Can I leave the system voltage control on auto or do I have to do it manual and how much would i increase it by? .01 volts for ever .5 x for the cpu frequency 

Last thing is there anything else I will have to do besides testing it for stability after?

I would not recommend increasing the voltage if you do not know what you are doing because you can fry the chip. When you check stability check the temperatures too, and make sure you have an appropriate cooler.  

Would I still be able to overclock a good bit without changing the voltage? and for coolers i have the cooler master nepton 240m water cooler

You probably won't be able to overclock much without changing the Vcore

Sometimes i troll...
