You should have a nice balanced PC then even with your (I assume) Q6600, you should be able to get 3Ghz out of it pretty easy with a bit of tweaking although be prepared for some monster heat output if you go much past that!
Spec wise how does that second hand card compare with the other recommended card. Am i reading it correct that they are both 1GB.

And is it too much hassle to overclock? Or do i risk melting everything ha ha. Any info links that i can read up on, i wouldn't know where to start.
