Definitely go down the SATA route for the HD. Playing with the NTHW clan, I'm usually the first or second to connect to a new map (there can be 20 playing online), and a lot of that must be the speed my PC loads up:

Althlon XP3500+ (64 bit), Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 motherboard, 1GB PC3200 400 RAM (dual channel), Seagate Barracuda 120GB SATA 7200 HD 8MB(2 in RAID), Powercolor 9800 Pro (128MB) Graphics.

Oh and the PC was an upgrade from an 18 month old XP2800 system. The performance difference is very obvious, so you will see loads of benefit from your proposed jump.
