This time I'm serious

Its a $10 difference between the 4000 x2 and the 3600 x2, would it really make a difference?

and I'm not looking for directx10 or quad core, my budget is around $400-500.

I'll use the 7900gs for 1-2 years and get an 8-9 series card at that point.

I can deal with Bioshock, Crysis, WiC in DX9 with medium-high settings.

The 4000+ Brisbane and the 3600+ Brisbane is only a difference by .2 GHz. And if it's only a $10 difference, then get the 4000+ Brisbane and overclock it. For your case, instead of that Rosewill you can get the Coolermaster Centurion 5 for the same exact price, and it looks nicer.

I understand but the Centurion 5 has $16 shipping while the Rosewill has free shipping, I think the Rosewill looks nice, the Rosewill has more space, and the Rosewill has smoothed out edges.
