I would at least try them before you make your decision.
Graphics card wise, first of all there is no way a GX2 needs to be overclocked.. they are insane performers whatever the clock.
Really it depends on how often you want to upgrade it. GX2 won't be worth much to sell once the 9900's or whatever are out and so if you intend on a near future upgrade there is no point buying one. If you want it to last 3 years or more then yeah go for it.
