Thanks man, my PC is my pride and joy! lol
Retail comes with the 3 year guarantee and the heatsink and fan. For OEM models, you get the 12 month guarantee and you have to buy your own heatsink and fan etc.

then ill stick with the OEM models, and for my Video card I'm looking at Radeon's. I know I said not much gaming, but i've looked at the cost of laptops, and If i spent another 2 or 300 on a video card, I would still be under cost of a cool laptop. also with any card even though they have onboard fans, can't I get a waterblock to go on those and connect to the system?
