Anyone that wants to follow this guide, make sure your case has adequate cooling.

You will be overclocking both your graphics card and processor.

You probably won't be able to do the tweak within the BIOS though if you have a pre-built computer since many OEM's tend to lock the BIOS down.

Shouldn't they also make sure they have a good power supply, memory, and good stable system overall?

Overclocking should not undertaken after quickly reading a guide. Researching is highly suggested to find out how far a user can go with his/her system.

There's no guarantee that users will get a major boost in performance; overclocking the GPU, for instance, can lead to graphics artifacts. Doing the same for the CPU can lead to Windows instability and even borking the system if one is not careful.
