I will be upgrading my computer this month with the following parts:

Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 LGA1150/1155/1156/1366 AM3 FM1 FM2 Heatpipe Cooler w/ NF-P14 140mm & NF-P12 120mm Fan

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K Unlocked Quad Core 3.5GHZ Processor LGA1150 Haswell 8MB Cache

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti Gaming 1020/1085MHZ 3GB 7GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E

RAM: (2) Corsair Vengeance CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Low Profile 16GB 2X8GB DDR3-1600 CL10 Dual Channel Memory

I want to overclock my rig to 4.3Ghz or 4.5Ghz but I have never overclocked anything and have no idea what I am doing. If anyone would mind creating a tutorial for me that would be greatly appreciated. My PSU is a Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W Modular Power Supply SLI ATX12V 24PIN Active PFC PCI-E 135mm Fan and some people have told me that I shouldn't have a problem with power when it comes to overclocking these parts. I am sorry if this is a difficult task however I want to make sure I don't brick my computer.
 
Welcome to the forums! :)

What mobo do you have?

The MOBO has to be upgraded for compatibility with the i7 4770k so I decided to go with the Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150 Z87 DDR3 2PCI-E16 HDMI CrossFireX/SLI SATA3 USB3.
