Anyone Overclocking their computer?

Tried using this guide: http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclocking/22106-core-i7-overclocking-guide-beginners.html

I have no options of manual changing other than BCLK.
It does give me an option to either enable or disable overclock CPU.
Other than that, everything is either On, Off or AUTO.

I just got my SDD partitioned but my DVD-ROM is missing on my computer.
My REGEDIT shows I have a DVD-ROM but its still missing on my computer.
The power cable and IDE cable are connected but clearly has no power when I press Open/Close.

I did notice a open hole on the right side of my hard drive.
I'll check that out later.

If I install the OS to the SDD, how do I support my games? using external? back-up/slave hard drive?
My SDD is only 120GB but my games size is almost 250GB.
 
Not sure what all you need, but here goes:

Windows edition: Vista Home premium
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Model: ASUS CG5270
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Memory (RAM): 8.00GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System

Copied that from my system properties. Also using this GEFORCE GT 220 video card.

EDIT: I'm thinking of upgrading the video card. Any suggestions? I'm wondering if I can get a cheap one that will be better than this one that came with the computer.

I wouldn't overclock it.

If you do upgrade, the main problem is the PSU.

I use a GTX 275 and it requires a minimum 550 watts.

What I'd do is get a new PSU that supports the motherboard and a new video card.

How much room does your PCI-E have?

When I upgraded my video card, I had to remove its hard drive expansions to fit it.
