O/C = higher costs.  You need higher frequency memory, bigger CPU/case coolers 
and potentially a bigger PSU.  If your budget is constrained then buy 
memory/cooler/PSU that will run with default settings.  The 10% performance 
improvement that a modern CPU may give you when O/C is not really worth the 
hassle.
