I would be surprised if the Dell BIOS allows changing the CPU multiplier and the v-Core voltage needed to overclock.
you can overclock that processor on select H81 or B85 chipsets, along with Z87, Z97s. The H81 and B85s are very reasonably priced.
This article describes the low-cost approach

This thread has a fairly complete list of the motherboards that support OC and speeds obtained etc.

I went with a Gigabyte B85 with 4 DIMM slots so I could use four sticks of 2GB RAM. I think after rebate it a was about $42
