on games like "Dying Light" and "Far Cry 4" i can barley run them on low settings. If i were to overclock my CPU how significant of an increase in FPS would i get?

Things you might need to know (IDK):
My CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
The FPS i get in said games: around 25-40
Let me know if there's anything else you guys want to know to help with answering :3
 
Solution
I'd say around a 5 FPS increase IF YOU ARE LUCKY. Overclocking GPU's tends to be more productive for FPS buffs. And if you don't have a good cooler for your CPU I can't recommend OC'ing anyways.
