Thumbs Up!
Definately go for the 3500+.It's working great for me and I'm sure you'll be impressed with the speed as well.

xp-90 is a nice HSF unit(heatsink w/ fan)

as for thermal 'goop', I HIGHLY reccomend investing in a tube of Arctic Silver 5

yeah whatever you do, get some AS3 or AS5 (AS5 is a better performer but AS3 is SOO MUCH EASIER TO USE!)

Eh, there are harder things out there. Make sure you read the directions though and record serial numbers ect. Also make sure you aren't afraid to apply some pressure, just not to much...
