You can overclock your GPU with MSI Afterburner (or other similar software). The CPU you have is unlocked and capable of overclocking, but your motherboard does not allow for unlocked multipliers to be utilized, effectively making it not possible/not worth trying to overclock your CPU.

ah i see, do you think its worth buying a new motherboard??
To be honest i can run most games at 150+ fps on high settings.

Personally I'd say no since you are already reasonably happy with what you have now. I'd rather save that money for a future rebuild because you won't get some major improvement from overclocking.
