A low powerd cheep psu will limit the overclock.
A cheap motherboard with not many option's actually open in the bios will limit the overclock, that is also a generic motherboard.
Low speed and cheap ram will limit the overclock.
Poor cooling will limit the overclock and don't use the stock cooler.

Not saying that your pc is cheap before you think that but I learnt the hardway what using cheap component's will do when trying to overclock.

If the pc was bought from a shop and not built by yourself then you will probably only get 100 - 200mhz faster out of the chip, it may be worth while looking at saving for a new pc and buy a pre overclocked system then you, don't need to worry about taking things to far and risking burning or blowing something up.
