Hi, I'm new here and came across this site when searching for help. I'm an old man now and used to play around with this stuff many moons ago but my grey matter is dwindling and I would appreciate some help getting a reasonable overclock with my setup. I'm not looking for extreme, just a good bang for the buck so here goes.

I filled in the required code box thingy but not sure how to post it so I'll just copy paste my edited version:
