Check out this guide here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1198504/complete-overclocking-guide-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-asrock-edition
They used an ASRock z77 Extreme4, but the BIOS should be very similar to the fatal1ty series. I have an Extreme6 myself and this guide helped me with everything I needed (i5 3570k oc'd to 4.5ghz).

Here is a guide, read through it. From what I can see you have a great motherboard for it.

ohh, i did not notice that you have a 750Ti. my suggestion, sure, oc, but don't go overboard. oc just to learn how to do it.
because your gpu will be a bottleneck, so even if you oc to the maximum of what your hardware can handle, it will still be not that fast in most games.
so if you want to learn, read read read and try it out. but do not expect much in games until you upgrade your gpu ok?
also, it takes patience to oc as you have to test and test and test.
first thing to know, check the max safe voltage and temp of your components. you don't want to fry your components.
take it slow, don't jump directly to 4.5ghz esp since you are new.
watch your voltage and temp

Gary, as you can see, overclocking is popular because it's fun. You should start first by upgrading that GPU (as suggested in the other thread). If you have any questions about overclocking just ask. Take your time, don't rush overclocking.
