Mobo is dg31pr Intel
Psu is UMAX 450w.

i doubt that. Thats another PSU that has a false sticker.
But AFAIK,Intel mobos dont allow to overclock.You can go for softwar overclocking using softer such as SetFSB but thats not recommended.

@ OP - you can't OC the the cpu using a intel mobo - only solution is software based OC using SetFSB
