I am doing some research into overclocking and I was wondering to what extent I would be able to overclock my computer. Below are my system specifications. Thanks for the help.

Intel Processor - [Overclockable] Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo Boost (Quad Core)
CPU Cooling - Asetek 550LC High Performance Liquid Cooling
Intel Motherboard - ASUS P8Z68-V LX [VGA DVI HDMI] SATA 6Gb/s USB3 {4 DDR3 Slots}
Memory - 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Primary Hard Drive - 2TB 5900 RPM
Hard Drive Cooling - Hard Drive Cooling Fan Aluminum Internal
1st Optical Drive - DVD Writer
Graphics Card - Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 2GB (Min. 650 Watt Power Supply)
Power Supply - Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze

(I am using a Corsair Obsidian 800D and I have 3 fans setup on the top of the case and one fan cooling my hardrive bay)

Thanks for the help.

There is no single answer. There are many things that affect the ability to overclock. The CPU, Airflow, ambient temp, thermal paste all can have an affect on the ability to overclock. That being said, with the components you have, you should be able to overclock well. The limit depends on stability and temperatures.
