    @Formula1: Nice, with these 2 antec fans i put in my comp t here pretty loud but im used to it shouldnt be a problem. If i do get that case ill probbly put these fans in there if theres anywhere to put em

    One question I have about the stuff ive picked out is, would everything run fine and would anything there cause a bottleneck?

    Also are "OEM" packages refurbished comp parts?
    OEM means "Original Equipment from Manufacturer". If you buy an OEM cpu, then it would come with the cou itself , and no heatsink. And also it wouldnt come with a manufacturer warranty on it.

    Actually, AMD OEM chips come with a 1 year warrantee.
    The retails have 3 years.

    Winchester cores use 90nm technology so they can run at lower voltages, 1.4V usually - the Newegg specs are probably wrong. This has 2 effects - they run cooler, and they are generally easier to OC should you feel inclined.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Well the psu that came with my case is able to power evrything in my sig. But the voltages are quite unstable, and it seems when i try to burn something, my pc will freeze. I'd highly recommend buying a diff power supply. If you dont have enough money i would recommend getting the athlon 3200 instead of 3400.
