Currently, I have a p4 2.8c (northwood) o/c ~3.2 on stock hsf and an agp 9800se 128 softmodded to 9800pro 410/580 ( w/ artic cool vga silencer)
I plan on upgrading very soon, and am considering going into an amd 64 X2 3800+, DFI RS482 Infinity mATX, X-Qpack case (replacing fans for cooling and acoustic reasons...) But I can't settle on a video card. Looking for the best bang for the buck like most. Right now I'm looking at

x800GTO2 sapphire card that can unlock to 16 pipes for $158. Is this the best deal for price vs performance? I do plan on o/c the cpu and the vid card slightly - whatever can be done with stock hsf and in this small case. I'm worried that I'd be better off going for a x1800GTO; looks like after mail-in rebate it can be had for about $169.99
