3700+ doesn't actually sound like a bad idea, from the reviews on newegg the thing sounds like an overclocking beast. unfortunatly, however, since im limited to buying my cpu/mbo/ram from Frys the 3700+ is out of the question (they don't carry it for some reason).
Therefor, my options are limited to the 3200+, 3500+, or the 3800+. Even if I get the 3800+, I will still have credit left over at Fry's (about ~$30). So, if I save money on the processor, I could get more in the way of a psu, ram, etc. Also, if getting a 3800+ over a 3500+ (or a 3200+ for that matter) I can get a lower model and keep some store credit for future upgrades or games.
Given that I'm not working with 'real' money, and im not 'paying' anything regardless of whether or not I get a 3200+ or a 3800+, what do you guys think?
