I have never overclocked before and have watched a bunch of videos on it. I want to overclock my new rig but am skeptical. I bought the AMD FX 8320 so I could OC to 4.0 Ghz to basically be a FX 8350. My rig:
AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
ASRock 990FX Killer ATX AM3+
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR
Rosewill 630W ATX12V / EPS12V

I was also worried about being short on wattage. The only thing I really want to over clock is my CPU and GPU(maybe). Just some advice and decent overclocks would be nice.
P.S. I wanted to know if I should overclock using the multiplier or change the frequency,

Your psu is fine. Just change the multiplier as long as possible and make sure to test for stability at each step, before playing with voltage.

I played around with the multiplier and changed it from 17.5x200Mhz to 20x200Mhz, and restarted after BIOS update and it didn't boot, but I restarted and works like a charm. I also changed my RAM from 1866Mhz to 2133Mhz. Thanks again for you help :D
