    I upgraded to a BFG 6800 GS OC AGP

    That's not as bad as some Newegg reviews... Those are fine temps for me. Now, if I get artifacts or something seems funny, I'll start to worry. But even if it runs hot, as long as it runs normally, I'm not concerned. It may shorten lifespan, but I'm only planning to keep this computer for...

    AGP6800GS vs 7800GS

However, if you really want the best graphics performance possible then get it now. If you can wait, the price will come down in a month or two.
