I really wasn't into OC'ing things either, just for fear of shortening the lifespan of the chip. But on my last machine I was really on a tight budget and needed something that could perform. After lots of research on OC'ing, I gave it a shot. I got midrange CPU and vid card and managed to push it into highend performance with ease and it ran stable as a rock. I still use that machine to this day (if you remember the days of the AMD Barton and the ati 9800).
My next machine is on the horizon and i'm looking to do the same and spend what I could potentially save on a 24" LCD. OC'ing is a viable option even for beginners, you just have to be patient and push the speeds up little by little.
But if money is no concern, you're setup is still solid.
