Overclocking the CPU by such a small percentage won't give any noticeable performance gains. As it is now, you card is bottlenecked (by how much, depends on your resolution) by the CPU.

Personally I wouldn't waste my time overclocking in that case, especially since you plan on upgrading to a faster processor soon.

Don't get the agility 3 the sand froce SSD's are having trouble, pick up a crucial m4 instead. As fror your bottlenecks it depends on what you are doing, playing BF3 not an issue but playing SC2 it is a big issue. Overclock the CPu and as long as you are upgrading soon it should be fine anyways.

P.S you will probably be upgrading to ivy bridge instead of sadny bridge soon.

Just overclock the processor to the max, your replacing it soon so max it out to try and keep up to your graphics for the time being.
