I picked up a PowerLogix 900MHz upgrade for my brother's B&W. Is it an easy processor to overclock? I would like to push at least 1GHz out if it. Should I pick up any additional fans and if so are there any suggestions on which one to get.
I am looking into picking up a video card for him also. It looks like the Radeon 9200 PCI is about the best I can get. Are there any PCI 64MB cards that would perform almost as well?

You wont get 1GHz out of a 750FX, not enough headroom.
The processor by default will run at 800MHz. To even get it to 900MHz you're going to have to install PowerLogix's CPU Director software and set it to 900MHz through it.
It wouldn't hurt to get a fan. The 900MHz 750FX I had in my Blue was rather hot. Never caused any stability issues but it was enough to make me worry.

Is there a special type fan that I should get ?
