not really. you can but it isnt really meant for it and you wont get much more out of it. k processors are what are meant for overclocking because they have an unlocked multiplier.

you can always squeeze a few more fps out of a gpu though.

FSB overclock has been shut down with Haswell if you do not have a Z87 chipset.

The H81 chipset is EXTREME low cost and ANY kind of overclocking or attempt to do so would cause serious damage. However its not possible. :)

Also I would not overclock your graphics card either, although its perfectly possible. Your PSU is already of too low wattage output for your system. Further overclocking could push it over the edge.
