Hey I have no idea what to do with overclocking.
Hopefully all my parts make my cpu able to be overclocked:

mb: Asus P5K SE P35
psu: Task TK-965TX-DF 650W combined
ram: Apcer 4gb (2gb x2) ddr2 800mhz
gpu: nvidia geforce 8600gt ddr3 256mb


hopefully somebody could help me...

Cheers

Agreed, start with the guides and download a good hardware monitor and stress tester.

Should be very easy, set FSB to 375 and ram to 1:1 in the BIOS (might want to disable speed steep as well). No voltage changes should be needed. The Intel cooler should handle that fine, you could probably go higher. Check out the temperature guide as well.
