First Time OC Cpu guidance/help

Well this is my first post here on Anandtech, although I've been reading here for a long time.

I've built a number of Pc's in my life but I'm about to embark on my first overclocking endeavor.

My new Pc's specs are

Case: Corsair 600t midtower
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620 Watt ATX
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth Z77 Intel 1155
Ssd/Hdd: Intel 520 Cherry 240gb/ WD Caviar Blue 500gb
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb ddr3 1600
GPU: Nvidia Evga 570gtx

CPU: Intel 1155 I5:2500k Sandy Bridge & a Corsair H60 liquid cooler.

I read the sticky with overclocking and some of the software you all use to test stability but I'm still a little nervous about it.

Any do's and don't's? I know there is probably a lot of info spread throughout these forums, but I would rather have your up to date ideas/help/opinions.

My goal is to have the CPU is fast as possible without changing voltage.

Thanks guys you are all awesome!
