You can't overclock your CPU. You need a B350 or X370 Motherboard to overclock.

Your RAM is also limited to 2666 by the Motherboard also. 

 

Simply put your system is great, the spec is very, very good but just let down by the Motherboard. You'd need to upgrade to a B350 or X370 board and transfer everything over.

 

The easiest way to overclock your GPU is to download MSI Afterburner and simply do +200 on the 'Core Clock' and +100 on the 'Memory Clock'.

I use a 1070 myself, and I've run this setup for a couple months and it's totally fine.

The Ab350 motherboard is a b350 motherboard. They can overclock on it just fine.

Get into the bios using the way I stated before then set vcore/core voltage they have different terms but it should be voltage and it should say core in it. Set it to 1.25v then set the cpu multiplier to 3.7 and you should have am easy overclock unless you get unlucky.
