overclocking the CPU + RAM is best done in the BIOS.

for overclocking the GFX card use MSI Afterburner.


For antivirus I would say save your money and get windows live essentials.
 
Have a look at the thread below regards A/V, I currently use Microsoft Security on most of mu machines and so far no problems.

Others programs would help are Core temp / Real temp to check cpu core temps.
HW Monitor for general temps and cpu-z to check processor speed and memory details.
Prime 95 or Intel Burn Test for stability testing.

You can't make an assumption about a product you have never used. MSE is actually very good from what I hear but I use Kaspersky AV only cause I have a 3 year licence. If your planning to Overclock your CPU then read these threads. Best advice I can offer you...

To Overclock your GPU (If it's Nvidia) then take a look at Riva Tuner...
