Overclocking the 750 Ti is pretty easy as they are cards with some good headroom, however some of the guys who are going after the big OC's bought their cards with a 6-pin connector for added juice from the power supply (only certain cards come like that from the manufacturer), if your 750 Ti only draws from the motherboard PCI-E slot it'll likely not hit as high as others (possible but not likely as the extra 6 pin provides another 75w of power to use). Also if you have the regular i7-4790 and not the 4790k, it'll likely be hard to overclock that much in the future, since with the H81 board not having as high as a quality VRM as the z87/97 boards, it's ok for the pentium G3258 just not for the more powerful cpus. Just one extra, if you haven't actually tried to overclock your pc in the bios, the 4.0 Ghz isn't an overclocked speed, it's simply turbo boosting to intel's specs, as well as the 1600 mhz RAM is likely running at stated speed in the XMP profile, not overclocked either. Don't want to sound rude but it's just products working as they're stated, not overclocking as most would define it. With that said the i7 won't be a bottleneck anytime soon as it provides a ton of power even at stock speeds and the memory won't make a huge difference in any sort of fps situation. While the graphics card is a good card, I wouldn't expect it to hit a standard 60 fps in most newer games with any sort of high/ultra details as that's usually reserved for the GTX 760/770 AMD R9 280X crowd and above. Seems a common oc is 100 mhz or so on clock speed and some are getting 15% extra on memory speed. Good luck with your OC
