What needs specifying? The FX 6300 is a very good gaming CPU.
The 7870 is adequate for playing any game at smooth frame rates. It will definitely play any game, although the settings may vary. If you are shooting for 60fps, then you may need to lower settings. If you would like to play games at max settings, then get a higher end GPU like a GTX 780 or a Radeon 280x.
Overclocking is a long process. With the FX-6300 I would start by going into the bios, and setting the voltage to a static number (start with the stock voltage). From there you can increase the multiplier by small increments and use a stress test to test the stability of your overclock. Do that until you have a freeze or BSOD. After that you can decrease the...

Those components will work great with most games. You should be able to play most games around medium to high settings. If you decide you want to max games out, then upgrade your GPU.
Overclocking your CPU is a good way to boost performance. Watch some tutorial videos and make sure you have a decent cooler.

From there you can increase the multiplier by small increments and use a stress test to test the stability of your overclock. Do that until you have a freeze or BSOD. After that you can decrease the multiplier to the last stable clock, or increase the voltage and try again, but beware that increasing voltage is often what kills CPUs.
