Build/upgrade help, questions about the finer points (FSB, overclocking, etc.)

Good choice for video card, the 6870 plays metro 2033 at 30 fps at ً1920 x 1200 high settings, this game probably has the best graphics out of any game right now, so your card is in condition to take any game right now, and for years to come, can't say the same for gtx 460,nVidia is ocercharging people but thats just my 2 cents. Your wei will probably be a 7.2, which is 100% increase from your previous wei, only reason i say this is because i think your processor will have the lowest subscore.
 
Final Comparison

Here it is, the WEI after!

A huge jump in my Memory and Graphics scores. No surprise that the CPU didn't change...I didn't do anything to change it.
I was surprised my Disk score didn't improve more than it did. I thought my old drive was a 5400 RPM, but I guess it was 7200 as well. Not a big deal, really. I doubt I would notice a difference if I somehow managed a score over 7. Maybe next year I'll get one of those drives with over 10k RPMs. :-D

I'm really happy with the way things have improved. Thanks everyone for all the help!
