If your running a proprietary system your chances of overclocking the system are slim to none in BIOS since most of the time those features are locked out. But in anycase Look for a program from nVidia called NTune. Since it sounds like your a bit new at this use the fine tune feature. It works pretty well and will overclock not only the video card but the system automatically. If you cant use nTune, look up a program called coolbits. All the information you need can be found on the internet,in detail, step by step.
A word to the wise though, if your not using an aftermarket cooling solution you could burn up a processor or a GPU. If your looking at getting more performance out of your video card I would recommend purchasing a newer one before you started overclocking. the FX 5500 is a bit dated. I was running one about 2 years ago, it was a great card but it just couldnt handle the games I was looking to play.

I'm a bit of noob in the Hardware area. But here is my understanding of overclocking. Overclocking the the process in which you increase the speed/performance of something be it your processor or graphics card beyond that of A, the recommend level for the product or B what it is set at. I don't have an idea how to overclock your processor but your graphics card being Nvidea should already have an overclocking option if not do a search in google for overclocking software for your card.
