you wanna give me the jest of that, cause I'm not gonna read that whole thing, but if the bottom line is some idiot saying LC is crap, then I'm not sure what you want me to say, obviously this person fakespert and has no idea what he is talking about, there are plenty of fakesperts around.
as for you build that is a kickass build 
BTW I'm not sure toward whom your comment of "please be honest and try not be a sales person" is directed, none of us here work for DS with the exception of Sarah, venom and Alex that come around, but none of us members ever advise anybody like we are a sales person, as a matter of fact I take pride in saying that in the config section of DS here, you get nothing but the facts, regardless of if its beneficial to DS or not, for example you will see lot of us telling customers to shop around for monitors and not get it from DS, lot of other places won't let you do that, one of many things I love about DS. I think we have a bunch of people here with 4.0Ghz> OC and sli, perfectly happy. BTW if I haven't told you yet, try and see if you can get a better price for your monitor from newegg

Me thinks the "sales pitches" are coming from your buds--not DST... They say, there's a grain of truth in every lie... Check for yourself...take one thing at a time and research it... For instance, sure you can "build it yourself" for cheaper...but, then you don't have a warranty--do you--would you like one? If it's possible to LC to 6.5ghz on Liquid Nitrogen--would you want to--is it realistic?
You won't find any "hard sell" approaches here...just other people like you who want the best bang for their buck, great service, and the gaming experience they're looking for.
There's a lot of people out there who will tell you anything...and we're not faulting you for trying to figure out where the truth is...you're right to be cautious.

Just a bunch of kids that know nothing, talking crap. plain and simple.
AMD's Phenom is a good chip, but the Athalon? that shows they are idiots.
claiming to say they can personally OC to 6.5ghz show they are idiots. Claiming over 3.2Ghz will mess up SLI shows that they are idiots. Saying that they can do that and be under 60c proves they should be neutered. There is not one piece of accurate info in that whole conversation.
