Hello, I'm just starting with overclocking and wanted to increase my CPU speed. My current speed is 3.3 GHz, but the CPU ratio in MSI software only goes up to that. How can I resolve this?

You're limited to an i3 processor that can't be overclocked. You should consider an i5 or i7 model with a number ending in K, such as the i7 6700K.
