As stulid said you want to download the latest drivers for your kit if you haven't done so already.
Press the start orb in the bottom left and type "check the" in the search bar. You will see a result that says check the windows experience index.
It's like a benchmark tool. Run it to get your score then you can check it again after you OC. If you set the multipler to 44, that will give you 4.4Ghz
Running the WEI will disable the defrag for the SSD (kills it faster)
I would start with a 40X multiplier and test for stability using Prime95 (run for lots of hours) or by running Intel burn test (about 20+ runs)
You wont have to mess with the Vcore at 40X, jumping straight to 44X/45X you may need a slight increase.

You're only worried about that first bit jon....
"4Ghz set-up (should run on auto settings for most people)
M/B Intelligent Tweaker
Advanced Frequency Settings - type in 40 - press "enter"
Now press F10 and press "y" then enter."
Press delete as he says to get into the bios. He is showing you how to up the multiplier. That 40 will give you 4ghz, if you typed in 42 you would get 4.2Ghz.
The other settings are a lil more complicated, just go with the easy method for now.

Lets put a spanner in the works

Why's your SSD score only 7.4 ? WEI can't be that much out can it ?
I'm going to cry SSD alignment or AHCI and run LOL

You need a few programs. Two from cpuid (HWmonitor and CPU-Z) and you want prime95 for stress testing..... I'm sure i mentioned this to you before when we were discussing parts :/
HWmonitor shows the temps and CPU-Z will show you the core speed. Run these two programs first, then open prime95. When you are running prime95 you will notice the core speed (in cpuz) will increase then level off at your desired overclock, temps will increase too (hwmonitor) but should level off around 40-45 degrees at 4.4ghz.
