Will O/C my Nvidia 460 help with SC2?

The game is generally more cpu bound than others but oc'ing can still give you more performance. More units need more from the cpu than the gpu. 

You may want to check out Msi afterburner to create a custom fan curve if the graphics card is too loud.

I have a MSi Nvidia 460, would overclocking provide any advantage in Starcraft 2?  (I heard the processor is more important? Is this true?)

Note: I currently play on High settings, but could play on Ultra currently (with lots of fan noise). I think my computer lags only when there are lots and lots of units on the map...

 

Any information would help! I would rather not bother installing software on my computer to O/C if it won't help...
