It's really not very risky on the Haswell chips and Z87 boards. With proper cooling it shouldn't reduce the lifespan of the chip.Alright, thanks for the recommendation!
Another cooling system is mandatory to overclock. The stock cooler with the 4670K is terrible even at stock clock speeds. My most recent build in this thread includes my recommendation in the total price (Hyper 212 EVO). Your chip won't burn. It shuts itself down before it hits a harmful temperature. Even if you removed the cooler completely it would shut itself off before damage.
Also, I found that my GPU is an "overclock edition" one so maybe that helps as well? Didn't really look up how to overclock a GPU yet, but I'll definitely try overclocking both the CPU and GPU once I get everything!
