Usually overclocking will give the processor will a lil more power. Get another video card and you'll be fine =)

It will be a good processor at stock, but theres nothing better then overclocking it to 3.3Ghz

Depends, after you overclocked it a bit and it begins to become unstable, increase the voltage alittle bit. Overclock it more, if it begins to get unstable again increase a bit more voltage. Remember to check temps always when overclocking, or you might end up with a fried mobo/cpu. I suggest you read overclock 101 if you need any more info.
