Unless you're aiming for maximum performance, it's quite manageable. You can boost the Turbo multiplier to 37 or let it auto. Begin at 40 (which is 4GHz), try it, then raise by one, verify again, and continue adjusting. If issues arise, consider stepping back or increasing voltages, then re-test.
I'm using the same CPU and exactly the same MMO. Recently I was playing with OC and Max reached 4.8GHz @ 1.35v. Generally, try not to exceed 1.4v and you should be fine. If you need further assistance with OC, feel free to let me know—I'm here to help.
Consider purchasing a 2600k on eBay for 70 USD. A 3570k is listed at 35 USD, offering a $35 upgrade. The 3770k is roughly $100, making it another upgrade option. An OC'd 4C/4T model may face limitations in modern games, so you might prefer 4C/8T for 2020 and beyond.
I own the same setup you described, but I’m not planning any major changes at the moment. Everything seems fine with the current components. Would you like suggestions on whether any upgrades would be beneficial or if it’s best to keep things as they are?
Have you considered a 1TB SSD for gaming? Your storage is almost full, so upgrading could help.
