Anyway, I might get the phenom for my "normal" pc. Most of that has got to do with the fact that I wont have to change mobo's or waste more money on a mobo that is meant for a intel cpu. Changing mobo and processor would mean that I would spend way more then I intended too. My "normal" pc ( I also have a gaming pc) runs Ubuntu anyway and is way overqualified for it's function. Who knows, I might get a 3870 to go along with it although I probably won´t replace my current gpu for it.

You'll probably be able to get that Phenom even cheaper in a few weeks after
this report.

The new ATI gpu's are actually pretty good cards. I know a few people that
have bought them. They don't have anything that touches the 8800GTX or
Ultra but they compare favorly to the GT and GTS.
Personally, I may soon build an AMD PC so I can review parts for that
side of the street :-)
