How important is it that I set the CPU ring voltage and System Agent voltage if I only plan to overclock my CPU?

CPU Ring voltage is like VCore for Uncore. Performance gains from overclocking uncore are tiny, I wouldn't bother with it much.
System Agent Voltage is the voltage for things like the integrated memory controller. Upping it a bit can help stabilize high speed RAM and a few other things, none of which are significant for day-to-day overclocking.
Basically, if you just want to get a basic OC going there's no need to mess with these voltages.

You shouldn't need to adjust System Agent Voltage for 1866MHz RAM, and if you do then the XMP profile will probably do it for you.
In my own rig System Agent was automatically set to only +0.1V when I enabled XMP, and that's with 2400MHz RAM. 1866 is a piece of cake for Haswell memory controllers.
