But a softmodded and overclocked 9800SE is top end.

Hmm... Rivatuner stated that my core speeds were 9800 non-pro level, but my computer still insists on telling me that I have a 9800pro installed.

Do you guys have this too?

Oh, that'll play games for sure. But rather than wasting your own precious time, actually read what I put before replying - TOP-END gaming.

I cranked it up to 445/445 but it was displaying artifacts and crashing the VPU

I think its only the 9600 series thats locked as the big boys usually have some sort of overclocking program with them

Feel free to. Personally, I wouldn't waste my breath. You pays your money and you makes you choice. And my choice was to build a top-end gaming system - something yours isn't.
