How far you overclock if at all relies on the games you want to play. I would recommend a good 4 GHz overclock to play almost all games full speed with LLE audio. If you want to play all games full speed, including demanding ones like Super Mario Galaxy and The Last Story, I recommend you overclock to 4.4 or 4.5 GHz.
Desktop:
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K @ 4.4 GHz
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Factory OC'ed)
RAM: 16 GB @ 1600 MHz
Dolphin Revision:3.0, 3.0-784, 3.5, latest 3.5

I always like a bit of wiggle room tho.

If you manage to overclock it you need to get a program to monitor the temperature of the CPU and GPU, specially when in-game.

RivaTuner (the one i use) and HWiNFO are good programs to monitor the temperature in-game, they tend to be picky and a pain in the a$$ to get it working if you use 64-bit though.

To get it working in 64-bit you need to use another program called "Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider".

Or you could just use prime95 to stress test it while running realtemp or coretemp (for cpu temp monitoring) and GPUz (for GPU temp monitoring). That's what every sane person does.
