Overclocking

Does it help?

[Dr.WizBiz]

it wont help make the game look better but it will make it run faster

What are some safe Mhz for my cpu?

turn it up to 11 (i actually dont know but im sure giving us your specs would help)

Sure lol cpu I-5 6500 GPU gtx 1050 ti and mother board: B150M BAZOOKA PLUS (MS-7A46

Your CPU has a locked multiplier and the motherboard (budget board) will have little or no overclocking ability.

What about GPU? I will let you look at this https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=overclocking+i-5+6500

Your GPU should be good for overclocking, the Pascal architecture along with GPU boost 3.0 has awesome overclocking potential as long as you have the thermal and power headroom for it. Not sure how your model GPU will fare but it should be reasonable. When the GTX 1060 released an overclocker obtained the world overclock record at over 3GHz with LN2, don't know where the record stands now.
The I5 6500 was able to be unofficially overclocked in the early days of release using high-end motherboards with the Z170 chipset, subsequent BIOS updates have removed this ability for the non-k skylake CPU's.
Your particular motherboard is a budget range board (B150 chipset) that will have limited/no overclocking abilities within the BIOS.

Help what? If you are experiencing long load times (and stuttering when loading large settlements for example) then overclocking won't help that. Not like putting the game on a SSD instead of a regular hard drive.

Sp then what are some safe Mhz for the GPU?

I cant tell you what is a good overclock for your GPU, each card is different based on the "silicon lottery" premise. Not all silicon wafers are equal.
Have a google for what overclocks other people have been achieving with your model GPU, that should give you a safe overclock to begin with (maybe start a bit lower) and then it's just a matter of playing around with the clocks/voltages to see what works for you.

Or alternatively, download the utility (if they make one) from your GPU's manufacturer and then start playing with the clocks, a little bit at a time:

EVGA precisionx OC
MSI afterburner
ASUS GPU tweak II
Gigabyte Aurous engine

MSI afterburner is a good utility for using with any card.
Then it is a matter of running a benchmark program to test the overclock.

Note: when overclocking it pays to create a more aggressive fan profile to help dissipate the extra heat that is going to be produced.

If you know nothing about overclocking take your time and do alot of research. There is the very real possibility that you can kill your card, especially if you are messing with the voltages and/or don't provide enough cooling for the card. This applies to any components you may overclock.
Lastly, do some research on your GPU. Make sure the cooler is actively cooling the VRAM and VRM, if it is not contacting the VRAM and there is no heatsink on the VRM's I would suggest that you don't overclock the card as those components will get very, VERY hot.

Thank you Spec Ops I did overlocked the GPU (gtx 1050ti) but too much and my screen went blank (but still on) so I could of turned off my computer by pressing the off button but I just unplugged it (it doesnt seem to of affected my games though) and when it turned back on my windows was noticibly slower than before
