Not a bad build at all to be honest, you'll be able to play with overclocking easily.

banterm8 wrote I know that you get a free performance boost and what not, but is it actually noticeable? I doubt that there would be much difference when gaming or just day to day use. So when would it come in handy other than running really CPU intensive programs (which I can't think of many)?

Yeahh It's noticeable if you need it

ie: if your system is struggling on your programs the overclock will do good, otherwise just leave it as it is!
