what is the max i can oc,especially the graphic card and how much performance will it increase

Performance difference is relative. You will notice some big gains in intensive games and apps like PS.

You can oc the graphics card using Rivatuner. Download rivatuner from http://downloads.guru3d.com/

And oc'ing limit differs from chip to chip. If you have a good stepping, then you cab do easily 2.7 GHz. Otherwise, abt 2.3-1.4 could be the limit.

Oc'ing is a looooong process. If you are in a hurry, then you will be the loser. Always check for stability using Prime 95(small FFTs test for CPU) and Memtest for RAM.

If you computer is not PRime stable, you could have data corruption.
 
can it be oced to give 15-20% performance boost

Highly unlikely, more in the range of 3-5% oc depending on the clockspeed. Gone are the days of Geforce 2 where performance was directly propotinal to the clock speeds.
