I wouldn't recommend overclocking if you don't know what you are doing . But, first off get yourself a decent aftermarket cooler, stock cooling just won't cut it. Secondly, your cpu is independant from your graphics card, yes a fast cpu will help on some tasks but you don't need a uber fast cpu just because you have a uber graphics card. I am no expert on overclocking though.
