Overclock or not necessary

Since you maintain the stock cpu cooler, I'd not OC very much, if at all. Move up to something like a CM Hyper 212 EVO air cooler (which are great coolers with a very reasonable price) and you'd be good for a very decent OC. The 7790 is a much better graphics than the 7750, and the XFX 550 power supply will more than handle it.
