I want to try overclocking this PC and wondering if anyone has done the same before? I heard that it makes things go faster, so does upgrading my cooling system make a real difference? If yes, then maybe buying something cooler is worth it. Check out this list for parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sVm427

Your big screen is high refresh rate so I think getting the graphics card going over clock is better than trying to boost your processor. But for AMD chips, sticking to PBO (Power Boost Overclock) is usually the best idea without messing with the CPU.
