I will be upgrading the system in my sig to:
Q6600 "G0"
EVGA 8800 GTX
Watercooling (MCP 655 pump)
Will my current OCZ Powerstream 520 W PSU be able to allow me to overclock the CPU and graphics, or do I have to ditch it for a higher rated one?

I want to get the retail conroe E6600, and overclock it to a reasonable, stable core speed.
I have read that Conroe really is a cool chip, compared to AMD chips. Is it necessary to get a third party heat sink and fan, or will the stock retail Intel one suffice?
