    Can I learn it pretty quickly by reading online forums and watching videos on YOUTUBE? Will be buying a PC soon and somehow don't feel like paying for overlocking services. Or is there a big chance I can permanently damage processor etc?

    We all started somewhere, most of us over 30 years ago but the rule is the same now as it was then, if you can't afford to buy a new one the next day .. .. .. don't even try.

    The 2500K is a better gaming CPU as games don't use hyper-threading that the 2600k brings

    Could you, or someone else expand on this, please.

    Basically each core can act as 2, so your 4 core cpu will be running as 8, as I said before games don't take advantage of this so it's pointless in a gaming machine
