I have a GTX 970 4GB, 8GB RAM, i5 6400 2.7 GHz processor, 500 watts power supply, 7200 RPM hard drive with 1 TB, an optical disc drive, and a few LED lights. Not sure how much power I'm using but that cpu GHz is quite low.

Non-K Skylakes could be overclocked by modifying the BCLK (baseclock) frequency, but only with certain boards. Later BIOS revisions removed that ability. In order to do it now you'd have to flash an older BIOS that may lack certain stability features, such as the Prime95 AVX fixes. It should be said, BCLK overclocking is very finicky and not recommended.

You can't OC it, as it is non K CPU..for OCing you need K series CPU and Z series motherboard.
