Building my own computer

GPU yes. CPU, your not going to get much more than maybe 100MHz more than stock on it. You need a k series to really overclock to any amount. Even a 3570 non K can overclock to some extent (40 is its top multi).

Well just overclock it a bit not much
 
OC= OverClock.

I don't see why you are wanting to do it though. 100MHz is such a small amount that it will make 0 difference in anything you do. Even a Benchmark is not going to show any increase at only 100MHz.
If you are looking to overclock to any amount, you either need a 3570/3570k or an AMD CPU. Even a Athlon II x 2 or Phenom II x2 will OC far better.

Forgot that almost every Intel CPU's were impossible to overclock huge amounts. Sorry, my bad.
 
Found and athlon fitting for my budget. Maybe taking the phenom cpu, weren't so expensive as I thought.

but it is unlocked and overclockable, which is what you were asking about. You should be able to get 600MHz to 1GHz+ on it, which is a decent OC. Will smash the 100MHz max you will get on the G550.

Yes, I asked for OC CPU but like I said in the first comments, when you usually buy something used here in Finland its broken. It looks ok but the inside may be fried or working unexpectly.
 
CPUs are very hard to break. The only real permanent way is to shoot it, overvolt beyond what the motherboard allows, or break a pin off the bottom of it.

If you are certain about wanting to OC, and not wanting to buy used, then you are stuck with either a Sempron, Athlon II or forgetting OC ability, the G550.
You could also try a Pentium for LGA1156 and a decent used 1156 motherboard. They will OC better than the G550 by a large margin, and should be similar in price. Just make sure you use a well rated seller when you buy, and use paypal as it takes away some of the risk when you buy.

Not taking the g555 exactly but anyway i'm not taking it. Stickin' with AMD black series or something
 
The new assembly would look like this:

CPU: AMD PHENOM II X4 965 BLACK EDITION 125W or AMD FX-6200
GPU: AMD RADEON HD6570 2GB
PSU: CORSAIR CX80+ BRONZE 430
MoBo: ASROCK AM3+ AMD990FX SATA6 DDR3 USB3 ATX
RAM: KINGSTON 2x2GB DDR3
SSD: OCZ Vertex Plus R2 2.5" SSD - 60GB (for OS)
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA 7200 RPM
Case: IARENA MIDITOWER

That might be a good assembly for gaming and overclocking, right?

I need to get coolers before overclocking that I don't toast GPU/CPU. Link me good coolers for range about 20-100€ (26,17-130,86$ or 16,29-81,45£).
