As advised, I returned the 9800 GT. I was not willing to live with the noise. I exchanged for a Visiontek HD 5450 with a heatsink. My PC is incredibly quiet now. I am almost done with all updates and drivers. I will update to let anyone interested know how it performs.
God Bless!

Sorry to wait so long to post. It is all up and running smoothly. 

I had no idea what I was missing out on. Using my Presonus Firestudio Project on my old system, I had projects that I would have to set the buffer size to a whopping 4096! These projects have more than 50 tracks, almost all of which have compression and Eq, numerous buses with 2-3 effects on each, and a multiband compressor on master bus. 

With the new PC, I can run these same projects at a buffer size of 128 or even 64! That gives me <10 msec latency, which is wonderful for what I am doing. And it does this without ever breaking 40% CPU. I am absolutely blown away and thrilled by this pc, and I don't even have it OC'd or any other tweaks yet. 
Sorry for all the exclamation points, but, as you may notice, I'm just excited to be able to make music again without being limited by my equipment.
