I got a new PC last week and was wondering if i can squeeze any thing more from my CPU, below is some info. If you need any other info let me know.

Core I5 4460. This processor is NOT unlocked. So overclocking the CPU is not possible.

not going off topic but if you want a performance

boost get a SSD

SSD will help give system a speed boost, if you want to overclock CPU you will need "k" processor example: Intel Core i5 i5-4690K this is a unlocked processor.
A side note, motherboard also plays a part in the overclocking process. your B85 HD3 I would not want to overlcock with a "B" gen chipset. But that's just me.

Thanx guys i plan to upgrade Motherboard and CPU eventually but just wanted to see if i could get a little extra for the mean time , so i assume when i look for a CPU i want to get a K-unlocked one and which chipset is best for the motherboard. My PSU is 500w so that should be ok for upgrades ?, thanx again for advice i think i will start with a SSD as they seem quite cheap at the mo can you guys recommend a good one and i just want it for my OS right ?.

This don't look right, you may want to check BIOS memory setting.
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)

also download cpuz and post a photo of the memory section
