thank you for all the help im still a little wary of building my own comp but i want to do it. think this will be something i will be happy with. also are the (g92) units that much better?why? is the price justified?

i have a lexa blackline and like it...has good cooling and looks great. Get the rifle over the tuniq. Also the q660o is way better then and amd quad core out.

if you are a die-hard AMD fan, then get the phenom 9750 or 9850. the q6600
is a substantially better overclocker. if you are not a big overclocker and are not going to be running benchmarks and photoshop all day....no, there is not a tremendous difference at all.
if you are building a higher end system right now, intel is the better (meaning faster) choice. depends on how much you like AMD, i guess. i like them a lot. but not enough to buy a phenom (even though they are great processors...just not as good as intel's quads).
