I recently bought a $300 gaming PC (purchased from eBay). The specifications are as follows:
Intel® Core™ i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Number of Cores - 4
RAM - 8GB
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - Version 2004
BIOS - LENOVO BIOS Rev: F1KT44A 0.0
240GB SSD

I’m aiming for the highest possible FPS, mainly playing Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone. I found overclocking information but am unsure how to adjust the memory clock properly. I downloaded the Heaven Benchmark program, but I’m not sure what to do next. Should I run through the 26 scenes it offers, then increase by 50 until it crashes, keeping the last working number? Is there anything else I should consider before overclocking? Thank you for your help!

Precisely what you're aiming to modify? With your Lenovo board, overclocking seems impossible. Usually, overclocking isn't allowed on OEM devices like Dell, HP, or Lenovo products.

Your character's OC has access to the GPU too.
