nice snaps, tenida...
You just answer mukherjee's question. Higher speed RAMs might give that extra bit of edge in Overclocking.

Well,arent we concerned more about bang for the buck? Most sticks out there are 1.65v already(even today,yes!)...u cant push them much higher imho...And not everybody will OC...they'll jus settle for out of the box performance...
Nice rig there...congos....
Care to post ur config bro?
RAM speed makes a difference in X58 beyond 1600mhz.
P67/55 etc,not so much.
Before I oced my CPU, I ran my dom GTs in both JDEC speed 1333mhz CL7 and 1866Mhz CL9.I noticed a decrease in boot time by 3-4 seconds and a general performace increase by ~10-15%.
My guess would be that irrespective of the available bandwidth your hardware needs to be fast enough to utilize it.

@Amartya- Nice shots. Though I don't know what config you have, I see that's a MSI MoBo, but What Proccy? You have Belkin Superior series, cool. One advice, taking it or not depends on you, I think, you should put that Cabby on floor, unless that table you have is very steady and can take heavy weight. I am saying this coz, my last table got bent and from then I am placing the Cabby on floor 
^^indeed.my HAF X,heavy as it is,got much heavier with the guts fabricated in it and the fuid poured in lol.
in english:it was very heavy and got much heavier with 99% of the components installed and the WC loop in it.

@Tenida, your desk doesn't do justice to that huge cabinet. How do you even work/game in such a cramped desk space? If I were you, I would just keep the cabby underneath the table.
I was afraid somebody was gonna say that but the fact of the matter is RAM speed doesn't matter anymore for overclocking Sandy Bridge chips. They used to matter for older gen i-chips.

For SNB, its true. But not that everybody is going for SNB based systems. So for some people it matters. And those who wish to upgrade, it also mattered for them.
indeed,unless you up the bclk where you will need good RAM.

Neither that nor the latter.
The Table which got bent was a very well made wooden one. And I was damn serious about it.
^^ while I havent kept my PC on my desk,i just pointed out it was very heavy.
Who puts a full tower on wheels on a desk anyway?

Especially when the cases like 690II, HAF, Corsair 600D, they are heavy by itself, let alone all the equipments installed inside, are not at all suggested to keep on a desk, floor is the idle place for those beasts. OR if you have any problem with putting it on the floor, then a very well modded/customized wooden table, with an extra support under the lower surface of it. Also, it shouldn't have any wheels, they will get cracked anyway.
