First time build

[bigal40]

I was wondering if a 3500+ overclockedto 2.4 will perform the same as a 3800?
ANd would a 4000(or even an FX-53) overclocked to 2.6 equal a FX55

If it's got the same core, same cache, and all the same options - it'll be identical.

this is what iam looking at building some time in the future. I have not built before so if i were to order just the parts i have listed what else woul di need. Do the HD's come with cables? When it comes to building i am an absolute newb so let me know. I am planning on overclocking the 3500 to 2.4 so it will be about a 3800
