hello, im thinking about upgrading my GPU, currently I have GTS 450 and I plan to get GTX 1050ti, and if I do that im pretty sure my i7 870 will bottleneck gpu unless I overclock it, I've never overclocked anything before and was wondering if I could do it on my current motherboard which is P7H55-M LX , and if not are there any budget motherboards out there that could overclock my cpu? Thanks In Advance!!!

yes you can. you need to go into the bios and increase the base clock. also you need to lower the memory speed and a few other things but i cant really remember exactly as its been a while.
