These are my specs:

Processor: AMD FX-4350 Quad Core CPU (4.3/4.2GHz - 4MB Cache /AM3+)

Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0

Memory: 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2x8GB)

Graphics card: 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 770

I'm wondering how much I should overclock, as I know my CPU bottlenecks my GPU, so what settings should I tweak and to what extent?

Well first of all, make sure you got a good CPU cooler, if you got the stock AMD cooler then forget about OCing.

Put the multiplier to roughly 4.9-5.1Ghz or 49x-51x. up the voltage a little bit. Run stress tests and then lower the voltage as low as possible before it becomes unstable. So you can keep your CPU producing the lowest amount of TDP as possible.

I hope you've done OCing before

Nope never overclocked before lol, just desperately trying to get round the issue of my processor not being quite good enough, I'll try it and tell you how it goes, I'll do it in very small increments.
