So I've searched on the internet, and most people told me to overclock through my Bios. However, under the advanced settings i can't seem to find anything. Som guy said that, since my PC was from Acer, they would'nt let me OC, and return it for warranty. Do you know any other way? I've tried clockgen, but the two lower options or just gone.. Help please
I can't overclock my Cpu? Or can I?

I know, not the best I've bought in my life, but anyways, i should be able to shift my motherboard in the future right? Then i should be able to overclock?
it would help yes but you would need a new PSU most likely too. better off just doing a new build.

Yeah, but that would mean purchasing a new Windows copy. AND a new CPU cooler, AND a new PSU probably. AND its probable that the CPU cooler will not work in that case.
Let me ask you a few qs if you don't mind?
Why do you want to OC?
What is your PCs EXACT model number?

It's really not a big deal. And I'm not going to upgrade my PC until a couple years. (I'll buy a new gpu of course, but nothing else) I'm very happy for my sytem and i think it's quite descent.

Nope, a new mobo will not help you, the 2600 needs to have a K(2500K or 2600K or 2700K) to OC effectively.
To be fair you are right that that CPU is still very powerful and perfectly up to date. I would OC the GPU or get a more up to date GPU if you feel you need better gaming performance.
Of course if you want GENERAL performance an SSD will be great too.

Exactly! That's my thoughts also. However I'm not gonna upgrade antil further, maybe when Bf4 comes out. You should'nt know a good, cheap SSD? I do have the money, but I've allready spend much on my money on this setup.

Do not go cheap on an SSD, buy a good reliable one of whichever size you can afford. Good ones are Samsung 840 Pro, OCZ Vector. 120/128GB is a good size to look at.
