None of those! Buy the brand new E8500, which is for sale at the same price and features 6MB L2, 45nm core and runs @ 3.16 Ghz

RE: New computer
Then again, overclocking is usually never a good thing anyway.. no matter the amount of fans or whatever type of cooling it has.

Whether or not it voids the warranty, I don't know, but I do believe it shortens the life of the hardware itself and you'll end up spending more money than needed. (friend of mine told me this, he messes with and builds computers all the time)
