To really stress your CPU & system, download prime http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm Run this for a few hours after overclocking and if it doesn't fail, you'll know you've got a pretty stable setup.

To test your whole system including GFX, try 3DMark 01, 05 and/or 06.

You'll wanna get CPUZ too http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php This will tell you how fast your CPU is, what the FSB and HTT speeds are, CPU voltage etc.

Something to monitor your CPU & Mobo temps would probably be a good idea too. Try something like Speedfan, Coretemp or alternatively, you could try sandra by sisoftware or Everest, the latter 2 have benchmarking tools & other system info also.
