I've owned my PC for around four years and have never tried to overclock the CPU or GPU. My machine is an AMD FX-6300 with an MSI GTX 750Ti. I'm not sure about the GPU's condition, but I've looked into CPU overclocking and found it to be quite effective. My main concern is whether it could reduce its lifespan or affect performance due to age. My goal is simply to improve system performance.

The power supply model is 525W, though the unusual wattage suggests it might not be ideal for overclocking.

What about the power supply? And the motherboard? The PSU is 525W, and the motherboard is an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0.
