Hello all this is my first post.
I recently bought myself a new rig for gaming and am happy with the frame rates I get on any game I have played so far, the most demanding being Crysis 3 on full settings which i get about 45fps and up, depending on game scenery.
My question is will i see much better frame rates if i overclock my cpu from stock to say 4.3ghz or maybe even 4.5ghz.
Also i have 1866mhz Corsair vengeance pro which is still running at 1333mhz is it worth increasing it to its full 1866mhz.
Thanks for any help and advice.

My specs:
Asus p9x79
i7 4820k
Corsair vengeance pro 1866mhz
Corsair h55
Asus GTX 770 2gb
Corsair carbide 300r (6x120mm fans not including cpu cooler)
Corsair rm1000w psu
Corsair 240gb ssd
Seagate 1TB

Speaking of C3, OC'ing the CPU alone probably won't make much difference. C3 is pretty much all about the gfx card. Especially when you get in the level of processor you have. But adding a few hundred MHZ more may improve more CPU demanding games.

Same goes for the memory as per C3. But if your MB allows for running the memory at its SPD speed (1866MHZ), by all means do so. Other apps will benefit.
