You need a good cooler like the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo if you want to overclock. Otherwise your components could hit VERY high temps. You have to go into the BIOS when you boot the computer. It's a complex procedure by adjusting your volts and multiplier until you hit the limit that your CPU can go to. You're not going to see a massive FPS increase by just 0.2 GHZ (if any), especially if it is a GPU-intensive game.

There are lots of good videos on youtube on how to overclock, such as these:

These videos have the same CPU and very similar motherboards to what you have. Pleased to help!
