I am tempted to go with the Phenom 1100t hex core, 8gb of 1600 RAM and the GTx 560ti.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  Am I better off with a faster clocked quad core Phenom?  Also, are there any compatibility issues with Phenom 1100t and 1600 RAM?  I have read that some types of RAM aren't always supported?

get the i5 2500 K and drop the RAM down to 8GB 1333 keep the GTX 560ti and you will get much better performance.

I am sure you're correct, but can you explain to me why that is the case?

Is that for games and video transcoding etc?
