A few things:

1. What are the specs of your new computer?

2. It's Linux.

3. All the overclocking tools are for Windows, SuperPI, Prime95, etc. While I'm sure there are equivalent programs for Linux, the benchmark scores won't mean anything to the rest of the overclocking community.

4. Lots of awesome games for Linux, Doom 3, Quake 4, RTCW, WolfET, Quake 3, Unreal Tournaments, etc, but not all games with natively in Linux.

5. My suggestion is that you dual boot Linux and Windows. Windows is good for the few good games that aren't out for Linux, and for making your overclocking benchmarks fit in with everyone elses. Linux is good for everthing else, including all the multimedia stuff you want to do.
