I love my Mugen 2 because it mounts nicely on AMD mobos and it's a lot cheaper than its competitors. I'd highly recommend it but you clearly can't go wrong with TRUE or megatron.

Also, you mentioned lapping the Mugen 2. It comes with a mirror finish but I have yet to do the razorblade test on mine. I will next time I take it out though.

I'm liking the Mugen 2 more and more. This is more of a budget build (I'm trying to stay around $2,000) for 'school' (primary is gaming ). I may look into the TRUE some more, but I think I found my heatsink

$2000?

That's a pretty high budget dude. You could build high end stuff with that budget.

Does your budget include the monitor?

Yea, it's around $1500 for the computer and $500 for the monitor and speakers and mouse/keyboard. It's a full system, since I would rather buy from one place. This is my newegg wishlist of my SigRig.
