So i'm in the process of overclocking my GTX 760 (3gb) GPU, but according to GPU-Z, my Power Consumption goes over 100% TDP, when benchmarking. Is that bad?

not really, if you set power consumption to +20% or something, then its going to consume more power. for example my 7970 its rated 270TDP and its consumes up to 370w when testing with OCCT. true the NVidia difference and the AMD, it would still go over a little.

The Only thing i've changed is the Core Clock, nothing else. When you say power consumption to +20%, do you mean Power Limit? (In MSI Afterburner) because i haven't touched that.

Nevermind, I changed my mind, i'm not going to OC my GPU. The temps in Benchmarks, where fine, but when i opened The Witcher 3, it jumped up to 85 c, and i didn't really notice any performance gain. Thanks for you're help though
