Where to start......to overclock this rig??

What are the settings I need begin to OC my system? CPU,GPU,and RAM?

See my system below.

System is cooled by;
Two fans on 350w Antec PS
Two 80mm rear, two 80mm front intake (one in HDD slot).
Thermaltake DRAGON 478 CPU with copper heatsink (3spd man.)
Fan on MOBO chipset.
Fan on GPU.

Welcome to the forums. First of all try increasing the fsb slowly until the system locks. Then increase the vcore little by little until it becomes stable. Personally I wouldn't go higher than 1.6V, but there are others who went higher. Once you find out your max FSB speed, then you can increase the memory bandwith and timings. The fastest timings are 2-2-2-5. Some people use the ratio of 3:4 or 4:5 in term of memory and cpu. You need to have the patience and don't get bored and just yank up everything higher at once, or you'll have a headache..... Good Luck.
