Alright, so, first deal is try to see what your CPU can do. Start stepping up the clock in the BIOS. Try multiplier of 48 on all cores synced. Try starting out at 1.3 Volts. If this is stable via testing with prime95v26.6 and CPUz, try stepping down voltage, or if you want you can try stepping up the multiplier to 49 and testing that. If that is stable you can choose to try 50, or you can step down the voltage.
You need to monitor your temps. Never allow the temps to exceed 80c under load. If it does, your OC is just too high, or your cooling isn't sufficient.

Go through and do the CPU first, before overclocking the GPU. I'll walk you through my steps I did.
