Personally, I don't think there's much advantage in CPU overclocking, anymore. Processors are powerful and cheap. I'd put resources into chilling the GPU, especially if you're going SLI. The proximity of GPUs in SLI causes massive heat. I've got a pair of 7950's doing some cryptocoin mining, and I have to leave the case cover off, along with a couple of FM121 fans to move the heat off.
