+1. Where you're buying, as well. $ is the currency symbol for a lot of countries, and even ruling out the unlikely ones, you could be from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or the USA, all of which have very different prices.

To answer the question, however, overclocking is the process of increasing the clocks on your CPU (though you can overclock your CPU, RAM, or even your monitor if you for some reason wanted to). Its primary advantage is increasing performance, at the cost of increasing heat and potentially even lowering performance or damaging your hardware if you do it incorrectly.

Well first thanks for overclocking definition.
I want to buy from US via online , shipping to India.
At present my system is a dual core processor with Nvidia 8400 series graphic card and Mercury motherboard (5 years old) . so i wanted to upgrade to fx- 8320. but after seeing many overclocking related issues , i am not able to decide which processor i should choose

You dont have to buy an after market fan, but you really should. It'll cost you about 25 to 30 for that.
