they should all over clock kinda equally (im proprtion) world is yours. if u know your way around go for the +3800 but if not go for a 4600 which runs at 2.4 and just pump another 400 into it for a fx-62. price difference is not huge...

The 3800+ is fine otherwise. Got the 4000+ (same clock) running 266x10 with no extra voltage and stock cooler. So higher should be no problem.
