OK, my PC (sig) has been running well for about two months now. The CPU tends to run a bit hot with the stock cooler (48C @ stock while running F@H). I also wanted to try for a better OC, so a new heatsink is in order. I have looked at the xp90 and it seems like the best choice. Are there any other oprtions? Noise is not an issue, just cooling performance.

For similar reasons, I want an aftermarket cooler for my eVGA 6600gt AGP. 525,1050 (stock 500,900) seems to be the highest OC I can get without any artifacts in aquamartk and Halflife. I am looking at the Zalman vf700-AlCu, but are there an other options? Again, performance is the main criteria.

Finally, I need a decent headset/mic. I play quite a bit of CS:S and need somthing that has good quality and is fairly comfortable. I am getting sick of my ancient 2.0 speakers...

thanks for any advice. I am hoping to get all this for under $100, but I can go alittle over if it is worth it. I would like to purchase as soon as possible, so the more responses the better!

PS - I am looking at buying the heatsink and VGA cooler from jab-tech. They have great porices and seem to be reputable... Can anyone testify to this? I am going to look =on RR right now.
