As mentioned above the motherboard and cpu aren't even compatible and the psu isn't very good especially for the price. Here's a setup with a compatble motherboard and a better psu.

You don't need 750 watts to overclock. With a 750 you could have two GTX 970's. A good quality 500-550 watt PSU will do the job. Here's a few good ones to check out-
