You can OC your CPU with the Intel stock fan but you won't be able to OC that much. With your config you probably can get to around 3.2 or 3.3 MAX. There are plenty of guides on the Net that will show you how to OC your board. There's also an OC guide somewhere in this forum too.

I would replace the stock CPU fan and thermal paste before doing anything else TBH.

change the ram to 2x1066mhz instead of 4x667mhz and get a better heatsink.
Pro case with extra fan
