Risks of GPU OC??

No. Not at all.

So, say if I wanna oc my card to 1300 mhz on the core, I can do it and it's not going to have "slower response time" (I seriously don't know if that's even the right term to describe what I'm saying xD)

No, and with a SeaHawk you should do better than 1300, seeing as the strix BOOSTS higher than that.

And what do you think; Sea Hawk vs Hybrid (EVGA)?

And, I also wanted to ask this, does OCing a card shorten it's life span?

I would overclock even the fastest GPU/CPU

 

Even if there were no benefits at all. 

Maybe I'm crazy.

Also, my friends told me that if you oc a card, the faster you oc it, the longer "response time" it has. I think they meant as if I oc a card to around 1400 Mhz on the core, it will take longer time for my oc'd card to send a signal to my monitor (it will be slower), and my non-oc'd card will take shorter time to send a signal to my monitor. Is that true?!?!

No.

 

Once the card is done rendering the frame, it will hold it in its memory until the monitor tells the card that it is ready for the next frame. This is assuming that you have Vsync on. In between drawing the frames the card my do some Physx work or something while it waits for the monitor to be ready (I'm not 100% sure on how the Physx system is set up on Nvidia cards so don't quote me).

 

If you have Vsync off it will send the rendered frame to the monitor whether it is ready for the next frame or not. This is what causes screen tearing because the monitor is displaying part of one frame and part of the next.
