so i was thinking of getting a new cpu but before that i decided to see if my current rig can overclock decently. my specs are

Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Processor

Gigabyte GA-Z270M-D3H, Socket-1151

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DUAL

Corsair CX750M, 750W PSU

Cooler Master CPU Kylare Hyper 212 Evo

so would i be able to overklock this setup? and if so how much?
 
you have an inteL "K" processor with a Z270 board, sure go ahead and try your hand at overclocking… let us know ho high you get, but know that that cpu turbo mode is 4.2GHZ. so 4.4GHZ and higher (multiplier number of x44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 or more ?) will be considered OC. How much depends on the cooler, and in your case a 212 evo isn't really great to OC a cpu, but should be able to get to 4.5 Ghz
