I don't do overclocking any more. I tried it a while back with a GeForce 4, got artifacts on screen and then never did it again...
EDIT: To add for scaryjim's reply, thanks for the advice on CPU. It's noticeable because I'm pushing it for the Rift I guess, and 2 of the latest games don't run well enough without turning everything right down to minimum, so I guess it's time to upgrade. I've got lower powered PCs for other tasks and their fine, it's just gaming this one is for. I have a SSD and a relatively clean install of Windows, but it's something to consider too. Thanks.
Thanks all!
