Well if your budget fits an e8500, thats what you can get. Yes, it will overclock just fine. You should get 4Ghz out of it with no issues. More if your skilzzzz let you.

I wouldnt get that case, b/c the watercooling included is likely not better than air, not to mention the fact that most mATX mobos are not good overclockers.
