There are many guides in the guide section of the forum and on the LTT youtube. It depends what CPU you have and what GPU you have and which one(s) you're trying to oc.

I was hoping to be the first here to say just wind your wall clock really fast...

If you're referring to my signature, it's actually outdated. I have most GPU's from AMD and Nvidia since... ATI, actually. I just like to tinker with different cards and I haven't bothered to change my signature.

 

Here's what I usually use. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/rp2dCy

 

Edit: I love the 750 Ti to be honest. I'm a sucker for smaller cards and anyone looking for an HTPC should use it.

980ti will eat the 750ti whole

I actually kept the 980 Ti rather than use my 1080 and 1070 (they went to the wife and kid)

Well 1070 and 980ti are pretty equal in performance. 1080 is number one till the Titan P comes out.

Titan Pt? Get it?...

Thank you. I completely forgot to answer your question, but don't overclock your CPU, it doesn't give as much of a performance boost as GPU overclocking does in real scenarios.

'over' 'clock'

 

[ARikozuM]

LTT and JayzTwoCents have a couple of videos on overclocking a GPU. I recommend MSI Afterburner since it works with almost every card so far. Look at their videos for more in-depth information, but you'll basically be:

On a more serious note, the only thing you can OC in that system you linked is the GPU, as the CPU has a locked multiplier. I would recommend this guide on Reddit for overclocking GPUs: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/wiki/gpu/general

 

Very simple process, it only takes a long time if you really want to reach the limits of your card.

[ARikozuM]

I'm more surprised the CPU utilization is only 13%!

Better than having to look at Jay at least...
