Can I boost my CPU's performance with these specifications? I've looked into it and found that the OC limit for this CPU isn't too high, but I'm curious if a slight overclock is possible. Thanks!

With your configuration. Not really. You might attempt to increase the base clock, but you won't see much improvement before the system becomes unstable—unless your BIOS supports it. In general, you'll need a K or X series chip along with a Z series motherboard to achieve overclocking on Intel systems.
