I poured all my money into my htpc, so i want to see if i should slap an arctic cooler and try to push this card. Any suggestions?

Re-install steam first

I'd always recommend replacing stock cooling on any video card, and yes, it'll help a lot with overclocking. Also unlock the pipes if you haven't already.

Consider the Zalman vf700 also, if your case has good airflow it's as good if not better then the Silencer.

Where can i find a primer for overclocking the 6800? Is there specific monitoring software ?
