If you plan on over clocking any system used for production work or rendering be sure to burn it in for at least three or four days running something as demanding.
I make my living as an architectural Illustrator. This is very similar in both system demands and software used to animation. In my field I am often called upon to render extremely large scenes in many passes at a resolution high enough to produce everything from trade show translights to billboards. These renders can often take 36-48 hours per pass to produce. I have had non over clocked dell boxes overheat under these conditions.
If you aren't planning on using the box to render than just make sure your (maya approved) graphics card can cope with your over clocking.
Not much of an over clocking enthusiast. I'll take bomb proof reliability anytime a deadline looms.
