Title should say it all but just in case look below for that and additional information. I want to OC as high as I can safely for Black Deserts release. Also i'm not sure if OC'ing my GPU would help as well. If you could also link me a guide or video in addition to whatever information you provide it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
CPU:I5-4690k
GPU:EVGA GTX 960 SC 2GB
Power: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze PSU
Cooler:CoolMaster Hyper 212 EVO
Ram:16GB (8GBx2) DDR3
MoBo:Z97 MIX-Gaming 5

First of all, try to overclock in BIOS step by step until the PC is not stable with the stock voltage. Stress test your CPU with Prime 95 for about 15-20 min between each step of overclocking.When the PC gets unstable, rise the voltage in small step and test it again if it gets stable, try and overclock more until is not stable again. Do not forget to keep an eye on temperatures even though the 212 Evo is decent. This whole process has to be made with small steps and tests in order to do it properly .
