Did some more homework and ended up with the I5-750. With a modest overclock it spanks the Phenom II 3.6 across the board - people consistently get 3.75 GHZ plus with this chip on air - at that speed it totally smokes the Phenom.

Ordered all the stuff from newegg - saturday a week will be build day

Thanks for all the help and suggestions gang!

Yeah, if you're overclocking, it's hard to ignore Intel right now. AMD is great if you are sticking to stock speeds though.
