Hey! So I finally have everything I want at the moment for the computer and am now looking to overclock. I, however, am not sure just how to go about doing this. I've read that MSI Afterburner works pretty well but I'm not sure just how it works. I'm looking to get it as high as possible, or at the very least at 4.3GHz. The computer specs are as followed:

Intel i5 2500k @ 3.30GHz
Gigabyte GTX 770 GPU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
z77-DS3H MoBo
Ultra LSP750 PSU

Not sure what other info is needed. I guess what I want to know is if it is possible to at least reach 4.3GHz OC and how should I go about doing this?

MSI Afterburner is a utility for GPU overclocking not CPU.

there are tons of 2500k overclocking guides out there just do a quick google search but, make sure you find out your CPU's max limits like core temperatures, CPU voltages and etc.
