Hi everyone,

I am a total noob to the PC hardware world, I have been watching online vids regarding overclock tutorials, however they are specifically related to later model hardware.

I was wondering if it was worth my time to overclock my components and am seeking advice for what my systems capabilities are. I am happy to look up online tutorials for my system specs however I wanted to get some initial guidance :)

System:

GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3 motherboard

Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9650

G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz CL6

1TB seagate HDD

GPU GeForce GTX 280
