I use a similar set-up to what you are inquiring about and it both functions and OC's very well. You would be best suited in avoiding the P55V, as it provides no BIOS options for overclocking and is a base model. The P55 Micro, SLI, FTW, FTW200, and Classies are the better boards for overclocking.

Yes, they can OC perfectly. You will need to enter the BIOS to do that.

On boot, you'd press DEL, and it will take you to the BIOS, where you can adjust voltages, clocks, monitor temps, etc.

Edit: If you need ANY help, PM me anytime. I can send you some i5 OC'ing guides, give you help, advice on which board to buy, etc!

Hope I've helped!
