Excuse the noob question, and please hold back the piss take comments. How easy/hard is it to overclock my cpu and gpu. Ive just finished my first ever build, from scratch, costing a lovely total of £210 but I feel that I could get more out of my AMD FX6300 and MSI GTX 760. I have a 750w psu and MSI 970 gaming mobo. Benchmark gives me 49.5fps on ultra. All help appreciated TIA

It's actually pretty easy. You can download programs like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X and/or go into your bios and change some values until you find a stable overclock (your pc stops restarting/crashing)

AMD overdrive works really well and even has an auto overclock feature that ramps up voltages along with cpu speed and memory
