Here are my PC specs.

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU
E4600 @ 2.40GHz
2.40 GHz, 1.96 GB of RAM
500GB
PSU 450 watts

Motherboard:
GigaByte
GA-G41M-ES2L

I need help overclocking it. What's the most stable and best setting for it?

I use my PC for gaming. Still planning to get Sapphire HD Radeon 7750 GDDR3 or GDDR5 soon.

for the best results just look at some videos on youtube like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ewMy7tmpGI which shows you how to overclock the intel core 2 duo or you can look at some text guides online like http://www.overclock.net/t/1429189/how-to-overclock-a-core-2-duo-e4600-beginner-d
http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/intel_core_2_duo_e4600_overclocking_performance,1.html
http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=35259
and then look at something like a basic overclocking safety guide because all processors will differ on the overclock settings.

Well for what you currently have which isn't much you shouldn't worry about having enough power. 450 watts from a 80 plus power supply will always be more than enough for a system like yours for overclocking. Do you know what bios you have?
