You will want to monitor temperatures for a while, your thermal threshhold for that card is 98C but you probably don't really want to see your max much over 65C. Keep your temps from cooking your card and as long as you don't get tearing/artifacting, or other graphics issues you should be okay.
My $0.02

so how high should i overclock then>>>?>>>?? if i restart and try going the right way should i go up by 10 every time or what
 
No telling on how high, graphics cards are individual and what works on one may not work on an identical card. You can push it until you either start getting issues or heat becomes a concern, then back it off a bit but take baby steps up there, nothing worse than having your graphics crash on boot.... okay, there may be a few things worse

i know this might work but i think of takeing th case side of and putting a box fan near my insides i did this before and it decreased my temps even better lol and to redue dust i might put a air fillter bettween it and reduce dust to u think that would help when i oc one more thing i only oc on gaming but when on like regular desktop i put things to default
 
Placing a box fan next a computer is not an unheard of idea and can be effective. Case upgrade or additional case fans could be an option too if you have heat issues in it. What case do you have there and do you have any interest in possibly changing it or adding fans or...?
