I currently have a Amd dualcore 4800 64 x 2overclocked to 3.0Ghz & I'm wanting to upgrade. Im toying with the idea of getting a Phenom but Im also wandering whether to just get a 3.0/3.2GHz dual core & overclock it as I'll be able to get a higher overclock. As far as I can see the highest Phenom I can get is a 9950(2.6GHz) but apparently that doesnt come with heatsink & its 140W, so the other option would be a 9850(2.5GHz) which does come with heatsink & is 125W.I'd go black edition to.

Firstly what would you guys do?

Secondly If I was to get 9950 can someone recommend a really good heatsink & which one out of the 9850 & 9950 overclock better?

Thirdly Just so you guys know I use my PC for Gameing,burning,zipping everything really.Gameings the main one.Cooling shouldn't be to much of a prob coz Im one of the many who has an antec 900.

Thanks in advance.
