Forum Overclocking : General Discussion Help overlocking new system

After posting and getting help on my old system and reading articles on best gaming cpu for under 100 and best gpu for under 200 i decided to build my first computer and was excited and nervous. i have succesfully pieced it all together and installed windows and Swtor and everything runs great. the only thing is since i spent 600 on my system i want to make sure i am running everything optimally. so if anyone has any suggestions i would be very happy to impliment them. i am mostly looking at my CPU and GPU as far as what i can improve.

Antec 300 Computer case
Corsair GS600 watt power supply
Corsair Force3 120gb SSD
Windows 7 64bit
8gb (2x4) DDR3 1333 RAM
MSI HD6850 Cyclone
MSI 760GM-p23(FX) motherboard
AMD Athlon II x3 255 CPU
Coolermaster HTX3 CPU cooler

I am not sure what other information is needed and will supply any questions i can. i know this MB bios has an option to unlock a 4th core and has a bunch of overclocking measures that can be taken but both MSI's manual and website dont provide any substantial information on what these changes do or what changes you should make.
