Here is a list of what he has:

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6
Intel Core2Quad Q9550
OCZ Platinum Edition 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (5-4-4-18)
XFX GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16

He wants to overclock up to 10% on everything except the video card. What do you guys suggest?

Read the overclocking thread at the top of the forum it will tell you what you need to know. Going up by 10% wont really show any increase in preformance you need to overclock more to see a significant change in speed.

If you want to do it properly and see an increase then following the guide will show you how to do it.
