Okay, so with the Elder Scrolls Online coming out in April, I've decided it's time for an upgrade. Currently, my build is as follows:

CPU: i5-2500k
CPU Cooler: 212+
Mobo: Asus p8z77-v
GPU: sapphire 7950
RAM: Kingston hyper x 16 gb
PS: corsair 600w
Case: obsidian 750d

I want to begin to overclock, (I know I'll need to upgrade my power supply soon), but if you can recommend a guide on how to overclock and a recommendation for a closed loop water cooling system I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Your PSU is fine, and you can start overclocking now, since you have a Hyper 212+. It's sufficient for overclocking. It's a possibility that you don't even need a new cooler.

Here are some guides to start you off:
