Im currenlty running:

Intel E6750 2.66GHz

Gigabyte GA-P35-S3 mainboard

Gigabyte NVidia 8600GT video card

I've never overclocked before, so i dont know what settings to put on these components.

Any help will be appreciated

Have you read the stickies yet?
Pretty much everything you need to know will be in them.

What do you want to accomplish with overclocking?
If it is to increase your FPS in gaming, you will not notice much difference.
Updating the vga card will be much more effective.

Well I've never overclocked before and I want to know how far I can get with this system. I just want to increase its specs without buying new hardware.
Oh, and I don't have any fancy cooling equipment either. I have the basic fans that came with my case

If you just want to experiment, and don't mind some potential negatives, then go ahead.

To be effective, you probably need a oem cooler.

Google is your friend in learning how.
