Here's my planned build:
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB
GPU: Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus Midi Tower Case
Power: Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
CPU: AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core

I really don't know much at all about how overclocking works, so any advice or guidance at all would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions of anything to change in the build, feel free to say. Thanks.

Get a better power supply , if you want to overclock.

The CX600 is a poor power supply with cheap capacitors.

Here is a SEASONIC , that will suit your needs.
