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 Smile, 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 ?.
can you post your system specs using speccy

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
