OpenGL speed changes from OS to OS. Here is the general order of backend speed (as I understand it:

Windows: Direct3D9
Linux: OpenGL
Windows: Direct3D11
Mac OS X: OpenGL
Windows: OpenGL

Linux OpenGL is basically on par with Windows D3D9. It's just Windows' crappy support and drivers do OpenGL that cause it to be slower. Mac OS X is slow on games in general.

Depends on the game, settings, drivers, and GPU architecture. Most of the time that's the correct hierarchy.

no worries, i can just get windows 7 if it gets bad, or save up for it after i get my new pc.

so i think i decided on the i5 2400 .

another question sry, how would this one fair? would it be ok with the power supply, and no like overheating and what not? would i need to buy anything else with it? if so then ill stick with the 2400, but if not then its only like 20 more bucks, plus its 3.3 ghz instead of 3.1 which is worth it to me.

That link goes to the shopping cart page, which is of course empty for me since I don't have your browser cookies.

Nope.

Get the I5 2500k if you must have a faster processor.
The 3550 will most likely have compatibility issues.

ok thanks wolf, i just want to get a good pc so i dont need to worry about one for quite some time . and if i get the 2500k i can still turbo. and maybe overclock someday, i may have a friend help or something lol. if i did, what would i need to get? some kind of cooler i believe

If you are going for about 4.2-4.4 GHz, the hyper 212 Evo should do ok. Your temps won't be stellar, but they willbe livable. Get good thermal paste too.
