Default Help me decide!

Just wondering...I really can't pick

Edit: Added poll.

I don't really like this setup...It's just my preference...

Will there be a better AM3 selection soon?

The problem with the "sell the whole thing" options is...Well, the selling part. I need to get at least $600 w/o the OS from this thing to make that worthwhile.

Post your vote and reasoning...I need feedback

Buy a new monitor and case should be an option.

I chose number 1.

Getting multiple packages that contain high end PC parts for a full build ranks close to an orgasm.

You should just get a high end intel dual core or quad core . Not i7, not phenom II. i7 is currently useless for gaming as most games dont take advantage of 8 threads. Phenom II's seem to have an average overclock of 3.7 which isn't much of an overclock, im really disappointed with mine.
