actually, I think you meant the 3800+, not 3700+....anyways, all the 4200 is, is a 3800+ with a slightly higher clock.....you can easily get a 200 MHz OC on a 3800+ chip for less than you would pay for a 4200+.....in a word, get the 3800+, it's a great chip IMO Well i was actually talking about the...

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/28cpu-games_6.html I think the results speak for themselves. :P An X2 4800+ outperforms (or is neck and neck with) the FX-57 in most modern games for less than the price of an FX-55!

ok, here's my take, and it's around the same price as the current config you want, but it's AMD with some great components: CPU: AMD X2 3800+ (OC it to around 2.4, 2.5 if you're feeling ballzy) Mobo: DFI Ultra Infinity Video Card: XFX 7800GTX PCI-Express Sound: use onboard, as it's pretty good RAM:...

And... I don't know how you handle all your work, but whenever I do graphics/video work, I always end up with a TON of junk material and extras that I may or may not need, and 120GB just seems a bit too small.
