It's always good to set lofty goals but 5GHz is a tad more realistic, and with good cooling and a good chip, 4.8GHz would be reasonable.

afaik 8150's 8 ghz record was done by using liquid nitrogen cooling somthing system and by disabling other cores. the overclock is for one, single core. not on all 8 cores.
with decent liquid cooling you might reach 5 ghz on rare occasions, typically between 4.6-4.8 ghz on all 8 cores. it will use a !@#$ load of power though.
8 ghz on single core doesn't have any real world benefit other than bragging rights.
your pc could use a display upgrade, imo.

I have an 8150 and I have all eight cores stable at 4.8GHz @ 1.65 volts and a custom liquid cooling setup and it scores ~24,000 3D-Marks on Vantage (29,000 combined with two 6970 2Gb in CF).
Getting to voltage right took time. If you go too high to soon you will regret it.
Get use to OCing a cheaper processor first if you can!
Just a hint... Disable 6 cores to save power for a higher OC, you'll get a higher clock with less cores.

Disabling cores=cheating, at least for OC records.

Also, what's the point of buying an "8" core processor and not even using 8 cores!
