Is purchasing an overclocked GPU a good idea?

[BBMadrides]

So I'm making a gaming pc, and all I need now is a GPU. I heard that at a few pc building websites you can buy overclocked GPU's. I need to know is, are the overclocked GPUS from the official website company as bad as when you overclock your own GPU??? All I'm saying is, do the overclocked GPUS at websites go over the max value and can damage your pc.

do the overclocked GPUS at websites go over the max value and can damage your pc. - Not if they are a reputable firm.

No. Its Asus who has done the overclocking on that one. Most cards come clocked higher than the reference cards.
