NEW TO OC, NEED SOME ASSISTANCE Please

[GrandpaSquid]

Hello, I have had my custom built computer for about 6 months now and have just came to the conclusion that I can overclock it to get better performance. However, I have never overclocked any of my PC's before so I am wondering how I can do so safely and easily. My specs are below:

Intel Core i7-5820k 6-Core
Cool Master CPU cooler
ASUS x99 Sabertooth
G SKILL Ripjaws 16gb (2x8) DDR4
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" Hard Drive
MSI GeForce GTX 980 GPU
NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid-Tower Case
EVGA 80+ GOLD 750W Fully Modular PSU

first off read the stickies, then come back for help. Not being difficult, there is a very good reason for this.

at the top of the overclocking forum section it'll have some topics that are always 'stuck' at the top, the stickies. These contain important guides for OCing etc.
