GPU
MSI R5750-PM3D1g http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R5750-PM2D1G.html
CPU
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8400 http://ark.intel.com/products/33910

Questions:
1. How far can i push the CPU? I was thinking about 3.5Ghz but i think that my cooling system is good for 3.8Ghz. How can i decide how far can i go?
2. I heard about RAM overclock but i don't know anything about it. What can i overclock on it? The voltage? The frequency? Will i get a big difference?
3. GPU overclock is something else i 'd like to do but if there is something i love on this PC it's my MSI graphics card, but still, any improvement is well welcomed, so again same questions with the previous one: What can i change, what should i be careful, is it worth it?
4. After overclocking what should i be careful about? I mean, overclocking is a direct void of the warranty, so should I give the pc a maintenance now and then? Like more often cleaning from dust? Often change of thermal paste?
Thank you very much for your time to read all of this, any reply is welcome!
