safe to OC
you've never mentioned what cooler you have, you may wanna grab an upgrade... or at least make sure the thermal paste is recently changed. (it hardens over time and doesn't work as well as when first applied).
60 is OK. there's room to oc. but a chill cpu is a happy cpu no matter how or not you oc.
Lutfij:
What is the model and make of your CPU cooler? Stock coolers perform poorly when overclocking on the K suffix 4th generation processor.

Additionally, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is available for older systems if required.

You should be fine with overclocking.
Would I notice a significant boost or just a minor change?
