OT: New PC!

Despite my misgivings about overclocking (that was me who posted about the fire, and I know it's an extreme case, if one person can find one other person that's happened to, I'll give you a lot of money), I haven't any issues against it, aside from one thing: I know absolutely nothing about it. Well, I know what it is, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I might one day spend a couple hundred euro on a cheap system that I can tinker around with and learn about overclocking on, but I'm not going to risk anything on my €3,000 system.
Especially because when it comes to computers, I am the embodiment of Murphy's Law. If you ever see a review or a note on a website saying 'Some users experience [insert something negative here]', you can be pretty much guaranteed that I'll be one of those users. And that, in a nutshell, is why I ain't gonna be overclocking this system.
I have enough knowledge to assemble a system, and I'm willing to spend a bit extra so I know all I have to do is assemble it correctly and it'll work.

If you want to be careful about it, do it very, very, slowly. Only increase clock speeds by 5 every time. When there's errors or it gets too hot, then reduce the clock by 25 or so, giving you good buffer room.
