As for overclocking: Do you need to? No, it will play those games fine at stock, but there's really no reason not to overclock considering that you bought the unlocked CPU. Add a halfway decent cooler like the CoolerMaster 212 Evo and you can easily take it to around 4GHz, or add a more expensive cooler like the Corsair H80i and push towards 4.5-4.6GHz.
You can expect 30-60 FPS in most places in WoW on Ultra (assuming 1920x1080 resolution). Obviously crowded cities and 25 man raids will be tougher than lower traffic areas.
