actually you should get a i5 if you can afford it. or at least get a 1866 ram( 1600 is min 1866-2133 is a sweet spot) also the intel chips have some much upgradability like this year broadwell is coming out with intel 5xxx series

from what i see this is just a bottleneck. Second of all it seems like its made for only 95w cpu's overclocking may make it throttle but with a good cooler a 3.2ghz overclock should be minnimum if its made for overclocking. Maybe time for a upgrade????

It's really going to depend on your heatsink.
Plus, that board isn't much of a looker when it comes to pumping in the volts necessary.

With that said, providing you can keep things cool, I reckon you could probably get a few hundred MHz out of that chip. It pretty much needs it really.

It also depends on your power supply, increasing volts means increasing power consumption. While this is mostly an issue on high TDP processors, if the PSU is as budget as the board, it may not be able to handle drawing in the extra wattage - Could go pop.

Usually on almost every chip you'll be able to squeeze a little bit out at stock volts but any more than that will require either much better cooling, better board or better PSU - Or a combination of all three.

Also, daaaaamn that CPU and RAM is going to be bottlenecking that 270x.
