Overclocking your system is totally your choice.

IMO overclocking CPUs and GPUs has improved perfomance of the PCs that i have built, im no pro at O/Cing but do it for fun, just to see what my PCs can achieve.

Noticable results will come from benchmarking your system using various benchmarking software programs.

Good luck with your choice

You could overclock it like ReAPeR101 siad. Since its not a custom built pc and bought from a store ( Or not? ) like pc world you will have to check if the bios allows overclocking since a lot of them dont, judging from that link however it seems like the bios can be updated to allow it. Anyway, in my opinion as long as it doesnt void your warranty ( check that ) you should be able to overclock that easily, I personally wouldnt add any voltage though as I dont think the ram could take it and it hasnt got a custom cooler. But it could be worth overclocking, what do you use the pc for general?
