Can I overclock
Running an i7700k on an msiH110M-A POR M2 board with an Antec CPU cooler is possible.
You should use a Z170 or Z270 motherboard. With the 7th generation CPU, the Z270 is the best choice. For the heatsink, you'll need more details since Antec provides multiple coolers for different CPUs. Overclocking might be worth it if it pays off.

Whether it's worth the extra cost depends on your needs. If you're just browsing the web and playing solitaire, then no.

Is it worth spending extra for overclocking? It depends on your needs. For basic tasks like web browsing and Solitaire, it's not necessary. But if you plan to use it for gaming soon, the stock 4.2 with turbo at 4.5 should be enough, right?

It seems suitable for everyday use and gaming soon. The stock 4.2 with turbo at 4.5 should be enough, right?
Depending on the games and graphics card you have, upgrading before the mainboard might offer better value.
Told me I could run CS GO without a GPU at 120fps on low and poor quality with integrated GPU from the i7 7700k
