What is your exact motherboard and exact PSU?

You got the exact motherboard, but not the exact PSU. "550W" is not an exact PSU. The quality of the PSU is quite important; if you have a junk PSU, you should not overclock (while you probably shouldn't run a junk PSU anyway, overclocking woudl be a double no).

The video card is factory overclocked so I would not do it more usually very little to gain.
For the processor if your using the stock cooler No.

You could, but you probably shouldn't. You won't really get much performance improvement with that setup, considering these are aging components. You'd also need a decent cooling solution (if you don't have one already). Overall, you'll be pushing the limits of your components for probably 5-10fps.

Did you just say add the equivalent of a gt 710?

Overclocking is pretty pointless nowadays, unless you're doing it just to say you did it. The performance gains are minimal, unless you custom built your entire rig specifically to overclock as much as possible.
