Is overclocking worth it?

[sethwilliam]

I am trying to get a good build for under $700 but I can't decide whether I want to overclock or not. Would it be better if I just got a good CPU and gpu so that I don't need to overclock? Seems that overclocking is more of a hobby then actually making games perform better. This guy can max skyrim with a bunch of graphic. Mods

These are his specs
Mazial Gaming Rig====== CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz PSU: Chieftec 750w GPU: 2x Asus Radeon HD 6870 Direct CU Crossfired HDD: 500 GB Western Digital Caviar Black Monitor:27" Acer LED Monitor Mouse: Razer Imperator Expert 2012 Keyboard: Microsoft X4 Sidewinder Case: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced
It doesn't even seem like a super good build! Mine has a i5 3350p 3.1ghz and a hd 7870 xt could I get the same results with the 7870 xt or a 7950?!!??

Ok, phew srry just so confused about what I need for a good build.

You already have a good build don't sweat it. When you finally need to crossfire and overclock your PC he'll be asking for build advice. This is the difference.
