You kind of got the wrong CPU to OC. The 6000+ (black edition) is 90 nm, 125W. The slightly newer 5000+ is 65nm, and 65W. Yours will scale a little further (+- 200 MHz), perhaps with a voltage increase, but the power usage goes through the roof. Your 7600GTs should also OC nicely.
You could also try to OC your memory more, with an unlocked multi that's a bit easier.

With your CPU there is no need to overclock...and if you do, it wont be much of anything.  wink

yes you can OC the stuff in the BIOS.  and OC your cards a bit.  but not by much at a time, remember patience when overclocking.


edit/ i have the AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ that is OC'd from 2.8GHz (stock) to 3.1GHz ..and its not really much of an inprovement...so dont expect a HUGE jump in performance.  Wink
