How does a novice ''overclocker'' modify for optimization?

[demoboy]

Hello gentlemen.  I am a proud 4 year owner of a GA-X58A-OC motherboard running an i7-990x with 24GB memory.  I never got around to ''overclocking'' or know this culture.  I did press the 4G button and was able to get that speed, however, what is the maximum speed I can get from my workstation without building crazy liquid nitrogen benchmark testing.  I am a video editor.  When I go into the BIOS, it's all ''chinese'' to me. 

I plan to purchase a new Kingston HyperX SSD for my PCIe 2nd gen x4 slot.  I know it will boost my 4K UHD aerial file footage, read and write. 

My Corsair Vengeance kit reads 1600MHZ, 4GB each stick.  Total of 24GB.  9-9-9-24 1.5V ver2.12

What is the maximum setting that is conservatively safe to boost my processor and perhaps memory to maximum speed?  My Power Supply is 1200Watts.

Thanks guys.  I am more than happy to commission any individual for an Amazon Gift card if he's able to guide me.

I am not a fan of Kingston. But

For this price

I'd get 2 if not 3 of these and set them up in RAID 0 or 5 on the ICH10R southbridge

This disk subsystem coupled to a 12mb Gulftown CPU and 24GB of Ram will hold its own.  You haven't told us what video card you are running, nor how you will be capturing video.  I don't think OC will be necessary but a modest 10% would be all I'd go.  If 4Ghz was attained and heat isn't an issue, I'd stop there.  Your corsair should be stable, its the CPU with a 130w TDP at base clock that is going to heat up if air cooled.

No one overclocks memory anymore. There's no point. You can go ahead and tweak the timings to the tightest possible while being stable though but that too offers little to no benefit.
Overclocking CPU's is rather easy though. A Google search will yield many guides.
Long story short just raise the multiplier. Base clock X multiplier= clock speed. Higher clock speeds require more cpu voltage.
Gigabyte  how ever I'm not too impressed with. There seems to be no Load Line Calibration setting in the UEFI for my GA-Z97N-WIFI, and the off set voltage doesn't make sense or behave predictably.
