Should I do it? a driver that's included with the card is called ASUS GPU Tweak.

The card is clocked @ 941 Mhz default
Should i push it further as I'm playing gfx intensive games? Will it damage the card? Will it break before x years? For all I know it runs pretty cool, around 50-60C.

Please give me some info, it will be appreciated.

I recommend overclocking it, as 50-60 has huge headroom for overclocking. No, unless you make the temperatures well over 120C, then it won't damage the card. It won't break for 5-6 years, but by then you would have probably upgraded. I recommend first overclocking it to 980Mhz, then 1000Mhz, then 1200Mhz, and intervals of 200MHz and run MSi Kombustor GC Stress test for 15 minutes in between each 200 MHz after 980MHz. Stop overclocking once: a. The card reaches ~80C on 100% load and/or b. Your screen goes black, then recovers and says that Nvidia (Blah blah blah) has stopped working. If "b." happens first, then raise your voltage by ~0.01V or decrease your clock back to the highest stable setting.

It's the thing you've circled. I recommend switching it to 1190, then 1200 mV. Its O.K. if the application changes it to another number. As long as it's within reasonable limits, its should be OK.

It doesn't seem like the program will go past 1259, I'm at 1200 right now and what i can see is this:

still 60 Degrees Celcius, and what's that 99% ish GPu usage? I saw that in the bottom while it was running. Is there a way to go past 1258 Mhz?

Try it with the fractal flame with 5 million particles for 10 minutes to ensure 100% stability. If it's still stable, then 1. You're GPU is a really well built one 2. try typing in the numbers in the boxes next to the sliders.
