Also, what is a good Radeon to get at the moment, if I had say a $200 budget.

9600pro 256mb is around 200 canadian

get the 9600xt if you can afford it though.

the western digital raptors are faster drives, 10,000rpm instead of 7200. Way more expensive, a 74 gig drive costs around 300 bucks if im not mistaken, i'd have to double check the price though.

Yeah, it's a 2.4c @ 1.6v with no cooling Issues.
I'm running an Asus P4C800 Deluxe mobo
Using a Alpha PAL8942 Heatsink with a Vantec Stealth Fan. Keeps it pretty cool.
Also running Corsair ram.

I'd recommend the Asus P4C800 Deluxe to anyone. Great motherboard.
I've been overclocking for years now, and besides my trusty Epox 8KHA+ and Athlon 1.4 this has definately been my overclocking rig of choice. I haven't pushed it yet, can't really be bothered.

You shouldn't have too many probs overclocking that far with the standard cooler even, I just always take things a little too far
