Need to upgrade water cooling for my Athlon Mobil

I had one of those. Upgrading is a bitch:

Pump? Too powerful and the tube / connections would leak
WaterBlock? - Must work with low flow rates and those small tube sizes
Rad? - I emailed Thermaltake about this, they never got back to me.

I decided to put together a new one instead.

For just one component and a $55 cap, it's hard to say. I'd say that the radiator is probably of most importance, so I'll concentrate on that.

The Black Ice radiators are good. A 120mm Black Ice Pro will run around $50. The 120mm Black Ice Extreme would be much better, but it also costs a bit more at around $65. You'd need to add a 120mm fan to that though, which will add another $10-$20

Of course in your case, your pump is also pretty sorry. :\ (At least it should be pretty quiet at its specs.) I'm not sure how badly that will affect you specifically, but a new pump and reservoir might be good things to invest in one day. If you do that, then you might as well also get wider tubing and a new waterblock as well.

But yeah, if I had to upgrade just one item now, it'd probably be the radiator.
