Sorry, the i3 4150 is not overclockable. It has a locked multiplier.

You can get a few mhz bump on the BCLK frequency, but nothing worthwhile. It's still a great entry level gaming processor. I'd recommend the 4330 to get that extra 1mb of cache. Do you already have the 4150 or are you making a completely separate computer?

I wouldn't pair either CPU with anything over a GTX 760 / AMD R9-280/280X. You can easily get the CPU and GPU used for a good discount. Those video cards will experience some bottlenecking due to the GPU, but not too much, the next steps down, you sacrifice a lot more performance without saving much money.
