Overclock i7-6700k on Alienware x51 R3
So, I have an Alienware x51 R3 with an i7-6700k at 4.0 GHz. I've Googled online and it seems it can overclock to 4.7GHz easily. I'm new to overclocking, so how can I do this?

There should be a program called OC Controls that allows you to do some overclocking. On most non OEM motherboards, you'd do it in the BIOS/UEFI but I believe that Dell locks down those and you can't overclock from there, only the app.
