You've pretty much answered everything! Thanks!
One more thing, what's the safest FSB I can set when overclocking, I heard from someone that more than 160FSB can damage the motherboard and other components.

It's on a trial by trial basis. Check around to see what other places online have gotten your setup to. Yours may be lower, all depending on your particular setup. I dunno about your board, but when you OC some boards, you also increase the PCI and AGP bus way beyond spec so some cards won't work anymore...
