    All you need are these.

    HWMonitor
    GPU-Z
    NiBiTor
    NvFlash
    FurMark
    ATITool

    Or if you want to software overclock, try RivaTuner.

    I like ATITool. Simple to use with temperature monitoring shown on the taskbar.

    Riva Tuner has a lot of settings, very good for customizing, temp monitoring, graphs. ATITool is also good, has built in max mem/core and an artifact finder.

    The program does not matters, the more you overclock (in whichever program) the more powerful your card will be.. and the risk of damaging it. Like other people replied before ATITool is a very good and complete option. I recommend you read a little on overcloking so you can be aware of the advantages but also the risks if caution is not taken (nobody wants to fry their graphic cards). The link in my signature can help you as an introduction.
