My department has a blog on WordPress. It's primarily to keep team members and customers up to date on nonproprietary developments that could affect the business, but we also want to drive some traffic to our main website.

Well, it is SQL based data analytics in the Cloud.  Whether it is properly Big Data may be debatable, since to me that suggests data scientists collecting and figuring out how to analyze data at a macro level.  But BigQuery is certainly data analytics, and that is a valuable tool for almost any business, if utilized properly.

I haven't overclocked one myself, but the one thing that I would keep an eye on is heat.  From the factory, Ivy Bridge processors seem to run pretty warm, and from what others have said, once you start OCing them they get hot.
