Leave it then, overclock both CPU and GPU as far as you can. I really recommend buying a good CPU cooler at least for the overclocking, because stock cooler wouldn't help with much of an overclock. But if you can't, well, just overclock as much as you can with the current hardware, might get a few FPS more, though not much.
You can overclock both CPU and GPU, but do not expect a lot of performance gains due to it. At most you'll start to see 35 FPS, nothing more. Overclock the CPU from the BIOS, and overclock the GPU using MSI Afterburner. Also, before doing that, check what is the bottleneck in your system. To do this:

1. Run MSI Afterburner and set-up the On-Screen Display to show the GPU usage and CPU usage.
2. Run the game.
3. In the numbers that appear on screen, check the GPU usage - if the GPU usage is above 90-95%, overclocking the GPU will yield more FPS. If the GPU usage is below around 90%, then overclocking the CPU will increase FPS.

This way you can find out what to overclock for better results - GPU or CPU.

Anyway, what cooler are you using for the processor?
