Yes ,well , OCing does affect the life of your components , but I dont think you need to Oc that computer , it should run your games just fine .
BUT if you do , first thing you need to do is check your actual temperatures(at stock speed with Core temp) ,then Oc a little and check your temps again , then you 'll have to found the max temp your cpu can handle with your actual Fan .Then you'll have to swap it for a better one if you have the inel one.
Last thing , the motherboard that comes with your pc ,and even if its an excellent brand , is the cheapest one from the X58 series , so dont expect too much from your Oc (3.4 - 3.6Ghz will certainly be a limit to the whole setup) ,but , this rig is great , even at stock speed , better check how to setup Dolphin a little , maybe ... ^^
Cheers !
