OC'ing your PCI-E bus isn't really a good option. It's in 1Mhz increments for a reason, because it can become quite unstable.
Basically, the PCI-E bus will increase the rate at which data flows from your video card to your computer HOWEVER the PCI-E bus can already hold so much dang bandwidth, you won't see much improvement if you do try to overclock it.
