Getting this mouse for Christmas, as my Dell one makes my cursor spin when I move it the slightest bit.

and my dvd drive has swaaaaag 3d glasses

Its not good, bulldozer turned out to be a flop
Hold your horses.

Bulldozer is getting a patch early next year that will implement the Windows 8 thread scheduler in to Windows 7, so you will see up to 25% performance increase with no change to your hardware.
There's some figures out already from early testing.

How bad? Just it is only £20 more than the Phenom x6 3.0Ghz Which should I get?
If it is seriously only 20 pounds more, I'd definitely consider it.
Make sure you have an AM3+ board.

Lol'd. Nice pic

That mouse is awkward. I don't believe you move them, I think you just use the ball to move the mouse.
I wouldn't use one personally, but up to you.

Don't really care much, I just really need something better than this dell mouse.

There are 2 patches. They released the first one a couple days ago, but it won't affect anything without the second one. It's early release was a mistake.

Or you could fork out $10 more for an anywhere mouse. Works on glass!

Just ordered a pair of Razer Carcharias for Christmas. Will be using to replace my current apple earbuds XD Do you think it was a good choice?

Sorta yeah.  They're pretty good but IMO I bought Sennheiser 280's, which are a bit better and cheaper.

The one Razer headphones that are really great, are the Megalodons though.  The ones that have an onboard audio chip and virtual 7.1 surround.  loving awesome.

I was considering the Megalodons, but then again I was on a budget. Also according to newegg reviews the ones I got were better :/ idk

Do I need a new processor if I ever wanted to transfer from a 32 to 64 bit operating system?

Depends if the processor is 32-bit or 64-bit.

What processor do you have?

Make sure you have an AM3+ board.

I am planning to get a mobo bundle with it.
