Ready to overclock my CPU?

[igleheartjj]

Hello everyone! So I own a PC that I primarily use for gaming and I'm hoping to up its performance by overclocking the CPU and reduce bottleneck should I choose to upgrade my GPU. What I'm wondering is whether my PC is ready to overclock. The main thing I'm worried about is the CPU cooler and potentially the PSU. Here are my specs:

-CPU : AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
-CPU cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
-GPU: MSI GTX 960 2gb
-Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming
-PSU: Rosewill Glacier 600M
-Memory: HyperX Savage 8GB

When idle, my CPU temps range anywhere between 14 to 30 degrees Celsius. In games, I've seen them get up to around 60 C. I'm completely new to overclocking, so I want to be safe. I only plan to overclock to around 4.4-4.5 Ghz.

The evo will just about manage 4.5ghz at a max.
No idea on the glacier quality but the 12v rail has some headroom.

Trick with the fx chips is seeing if you can voltage drop while also overclocking to keep temps & draw to a minimum.

Glacier series from Rosewill made by Andyson power supplies aren't very good.

Should be OK to at least try, start by seeing how far up you can go with no additional voltage, then gradually add voltage in small increments as needed say + 0.03 or so and monitor temps. Take it up run it a bitt, then take it up another notch
