I am planing to build a PC and I am planning to get a 7300GS and later on get a higher end graphics card. I was wondering if the 7300GS has good overclocking potential and also if it is worth $63.

I agree. The X800GTO is a better card, and overclocks well also.Go for this Powercolor X800GTO. It's the fastest card available in that price range.
The 80$ 7600gt on newegg (best buy under 100$)

7300GS really is the bottom of the barrel (in fact the only place it's really useful is if you stick 4 of them in a workstation and plug in a buckload of hi-res screens).
It's not like with CPUs, where you can buy the bottom of the range and just overclock to the top for free - with graphics cards you have to worry about pipelines etc..., which (without doing risky firmware/BIOS hacks) remain unavailable no matter how high you clock it, crippling the card and rendering your speed overclock irrelevant.
