I'm using an A10 5800K, I get about 4.4 megahashes on all 4 cores. That only get's me about $ .11 a month, not including energy and shares from being in a pool. If I bought a nice cooler and overclocked to at most 4.5 GHz, how would that affect my hash rate? Also, I'm planning on building a new system with the FX 8450 and a GTX 760. What would be my expected hash rate then?

Your GPU will give the biggest boost, but you will never make more than a few cents although you may be losing money after your electricity bill.

If you amortize the cost of the equipment in your system you lose a ton. Bitcoin mining is really only for the big boys now and even then unless they own an exchange it is a poor and risky proposition.

CPU/GPU mining hasn't been viable for quite some time now. FPGA mining is where it's at currently, and even that'll cost you dearly for the little you'll reap.
