I moved your thread from the introduction section to the overclocking section due to your specific question.

Overclocking your processor and/or RAM should usually yield slightly better gaming performance, but don't expect anything earth-shattering as your video card is usually the bottleneck when it comes to lackluster gaming performance. That said, you can start by reading through nVidia's very own overclocking guide for Intel 680i based platforms. That is a great resource for definition of terms and how the different parts of the system work together and are affected when overclocking. Feel free to post back any more specific questions if you still need some guidance on how to go about overclocking your system and we will be happy to help you out!

Oh yeah...

Your CPU and RAM are more than powerful, but as Blake said, that 8600 (GT or GTS?) GPU will probably be the bottleneck.
