I used the micro center combo deal and the total cost was $120. I considered a 5600 but once you factor in a different mobo the price was significantly higher for a 5600.

Ahh, I see. Not a terrible deal, though just making sure you understand the performance difference between the 3600 and 5600. I jumped from the 2600 to the 5600 and it is crazy. Apparently the 5600 is one of the most popular CPUs at the moment, since it is really powerful for the money.
