This is my new PC and I was wondering what I should overclock it to for optimal performance w/ no overheating/error issues, or if I even can/should overclock it.
 
Please don't bump a thread so quickly - between 1 and 2 days should pass before you consider bumping.

In answer to your question, I suggest you read Overclocking 101. That'll tell you that nobody can speculate how far a system can be pushed and be stable. The way overclocking works is you increase a bit at a time, testing all the while with stability tests. When you begin to see errors, reduce the settings. That way you'll see instability long before you physically damage anything. And temperatures should be monitored, although I don't know the ceiling of that particular cpu, aim for ~50 celcius under load.
