It'll run EQ just fine. No need for the overclock really. Depends what else you play though. Specs mean nothing without an intended purpose.

You're spending too much on the CPU and not enough on the GPU.
Get a GTX-670. Kepler GPUs are by far the best architecture in the history of the world and huge jump from the 5XX series.
