Er I probably should have asked this before I started but Ive just successfully overclocked my E8500 from 3.16GHz to 3.806GHz and after benchmarking have found I have increased my FPS by approximately 1fps -what exactly is the point of overclocking if that's all the difference it makes?
 
Yep your right weescot I jumped to conclusions after trying just one piece of software, Ive now tried other software and there is a significant increase in FPS on some of them (the Devil may cry benchmark for instance) so yeah sorry for rushing in so fast there.

@MikeHunt79 good point you made about different people using PC's for different things I never stopped to think about the people who use proper hardcore apps like encoding software and modelling software for graphic art and stuff of course it will help them a lot, my bad lol
