Hello fellow experts and commoners alike, I would like to know how much my build would be able to overclock if it is even possible at all because I am planning to only OC the CPU and maybe a little on the GPU

I'd say at least 4.6-4.8, I won't use MSI cards so haven't work with too many, the ones I have seen I'd guess maybe 10% at least
