software overclocking is very hard because most of the time your comp will freeze up as soon as you apply changes, BIOS is the best way and it gives extra options for voltages, RAM timings etc.

you might have a hard time with a pre-built pc as all the useful BIOS features will be locked.

i used gigabyte easytune5 once, it works if you go up in small increments.
dno if it works with other boards than gigabyte but there's just 1 way to find out.

use this too and make sure your temperatures don't go too high.

BIOS is the only way to do it. Software simply doesn't work. In the rare event you're actually able to configure it to your PLL, it won't matter anyway because you won't be able to lock your PCI/PCI-e. If you try to OC without locking those buses, you're looking at instability and data corruption.

tl;dr, you need to do it in the BIOS, it's the only option.
