The processor has nothing to do with the video card. I'm more concerned whether your 250 watt power supply will be able to handle overclocking and/or a stronger video card.

What are you trying to do - improve your gaming performance or do you just want to play around and overclock because you can? If you are trying to improve gaming performance, you need more ram, a stronger video card (a lot stronger than what you are looking at), and a stronger power supply. Jacking up the processor from 1.7 to 2.0 Ghz, you will never notice the difference and that old socket 423 processor will just run hotter.
