Hello i'm new to overclocking and I came here for some insight.

My PC is:
Cpu - Intel i7 3770k
Gpu - gtx 650 ti 1g ddr3
Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G41
Ram - 2x g.skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Psu - 600w 80+ certified
Harddrive - Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB
Cooler - cooler master hyper 212 evo

I want to know how much I can overclock without any problems.. Is reaching 4.2 or more possible with this setup?

4.2ghz should be pretty easy. You'll need to disable turbo. You could probably jump straight from 35 to 39 if turbo is turned off. Just test for stability, and make sure your temps are in check! prime95 is good for stability testing.
