I also wasnt really considering Dual Core. I know it is probably the new fad.. but i have to cut costs some how.

What is this rig for?....gaming, audio/video, 3D workstation... You're getting a silent case that's outrageously priced so you could cut costs there...unless the rig is for audio work then the quieter the better. But if the rig were for audio, the AMD64 is pointless - no audio app can utilize it. A hyperthreading CPU would be much more cost effective and can be utilized by most audio apps (save for GigaStudio).
