I have, thus far, avoid OC'ing. Buddies of mine ended up destroying their stuff or received an abundance of blue screens. :O

Yeah understandable. But keep in mind that overclocking the GPU alone doesn't do anything to your card, nor can the manufacturers tell you've overclocked it. You may get some crashes but it "shouldn't" damage the hardware. 

Overvolting the GPU to get crazy overclocks is where the damage happens...I've never done that myself.

I have the temptations, it would help in a bunch of games and, as you may know, I'm a benchmark nerd. :P It's just not worth it if it causes problems, you know?

Yeah totally. Things are at a point where OCing just isn't necessary. Until 4K gets here that is... 4K surround. :)

Speaking of 4K, I think I'ma pick one of these up - http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7674736

Price isn't too bad and apparently they allow true 120hz input @ 1080p and 80hz input at 2560x1440. This is amazing...
