Safe overclock for my system

The safe option is not to change it from stock. Overclocking is usually done in steps but increasing small amounts and testing your stability and temperature until you find a nice balance between heat and power for your chip. It's not something you just turn on. Just take small moves each time and see how it goes.

It's possible, but no one can answer that for your chip since they are all different. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes it will barely move off of stock before crashing or overheating. As long as you move in small steps though it's very unlikely you'd harm anything.
 
Your listed memory is Not Good!

Memory
Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 Memory

G.Skill Value 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

A dual kit and a single module?

On a dual channel motherboard?

You need to rethink that!

You're asking about overclocking reachable, but if you don't properly match up the parts you intend overclocking you can forget it!
