With both temps up so high i would look at improving your case cooling/air distribution/circulation.
You got any pics of your case you can post ?

Bearing in mind im new to this forum.....

I have read many many posts that would tend to agree that the ANTEC 900 should bring your temps down. Most people also so its pretty horrible to look at though.

I would buy some decent arctic silver.
Would bet you used standard. use some alcohol or nail varnish remover to clean both and reapply.

You could buy a new Heat sink and fan. The arctic cooler is only £15 which will give you better cooling and is a damn sight quieter.

As far as hard drives go. the new samsung models are the best about at the moment. T166 models

Case cooling is fine looking at the pictures. Although if you dont have a side vent or front fan. It could improve
