And then water cooling so you can take advantage of all the extra overclocking headroom.

Good point, if you are running stock fans, you need to move up, with how expensive your system currently seems I think you may be one of the few that can afford the $900 needed to get a Prometia MAch II, if that is the case I say go for it.

I say sound card then maybe some dope speakers.

You would be able to afford it before I can, but hte recommendation are:

PC4000
extreme cooling
Sound card
sound system

possibly, but it won't be of the best quality, let focus on one part at a time.

Don't upgrade the memory if those are the Corsair 3200XL then they use the Samsung TCCD chips and you should be able to overclock with them no problem. Most people can get them to PC4000 without any problems.
