Does OCing cpu add any value for gaming?

[Ironhawk]

Hello. So i have little dilemma. I want to get new decent gaming PC and cant pick what kind CPU to get from intel. Does OCing for gaming pays off considered extra investment you need for that.

PS. I wont plant do any upgrades at least 5 years unless they are really necessary.

For gaming, OCing wont help now but 2-3 years down when you upgrade your gpu OCing will give your cpu the extra amount of juice needed to keep up with the new gpu and prevent cpu bottlenecks....
