    Is the 163.14 the best one to go for or what?

    There is no such thing as a "best" driver.

    What games do you play, and do you overclock? Also, what OS do you use? (I'm assuming Vista, but want to make sure).

    Best drivers are probably the newest, as your likely to have best performance and the fewest compatability issues, if you find you have issues then you can try older ones.

    Don't want to mess anything up

    Oh come on, it's just updating drivers. You probably won't mess anything up. Don't worry. If you don't feel comfortable with betas just go with newest non betas. (Newer ones are probably better) Don't like the driver or its buggy? Just go with other ones.
