Needed: Upgrade advice for a Useless individual!

I think i'll pack it in and reverse back to normal. I'll definitely look into replacing the CPU cooler soon though. Then maybe try again. Is a CPU Cooler easy (for a complete clutz) to change?
How do I go about changing the settings back? Just put the OC tuner back to auto?

No. honestly save your money.
You would need a new HS anyway and GPU - better off buying a HS that will suit a future build and gaining experience then getting a decent clock established and then throw in a GTX 1070 which you could also use in future build - and again more practice.
Okay will do,
Not sure what you mean by the above!
Thank you very much for the assistance though I really appreciate it, I'll buy a new HS next month, maybe a reasonably good one, and post back into this thread if you're still willing to help.
As I've said I appreciate it considerably, you've been great and taught me lots.
(I think I've managed to change all settings back)
Edit: if you know a HS, up to £50 if necessary,which will future proof the build, I'd accept the advice!!

Sure - i'll take look later/tomorrow - but we'll have to take your case width into consideration. The one I would like to get we would only have 1mm clearance to play with. I don't usually advise this (with forum users as I can't see/measure for myself - as you may not have that 1mm) - but the top of my present cooler's heatpipes (absolutely huge brick - Thermalright Silverarrow ) touch the side of the case and it's not a problem (no noise issues either).
I'll give you some choices - and give you approx. performance differences and then probably guide you towards best bang for buck. But will keep in mind this is for a future CPU...
OK, I was going to give you a selection - but given your budget, height restrictions and coupled with my obsession for bang for buck - I've narrowed it down to one card.
The Cryorig H7 at £36.95 - I've not installed one myself but forum banter and the reviews are great - link. So much so I may stick one in my sons build to have a play...
Paste isn't pre applied but does come with a tube of perfectly fine thermal paste and it's only 145mm tall - so loads of room to play with. Plus, it's performance is worthy of migrating to a new rig - whatever CPU you get...
Additional:
I would take advantage of this straight away - just in case you do update to an AM4 in the future
