    Not too sure if overclocking will solve your situation. Unfortunately your processor seems to be the bottleneck for the two games you want to play. Starcraft can be a very CPU demanding game as well as a GPU one. Your GPU is also an entry level GPU that can't handle many current games in medium-high settings. If you still want to try you can download a program called Riva Tuner and fool around with that to change clock speeds of your GPU. It should help but I would personally give up hope running those games fluently on that machine.
