top doesn't show enough information at once sometimes, and I find that I do a lot of digging through ps -A to get PIDs, primarily to kill apps. Is there a graphical top out there that I could use?
Also, what can I do to kill processes that I know the name of?

There is also pkill.

It's old, and there isn't a package for Arch, but gps is not bad for a graphical ( gtk based ) process list/kill app :

Don't make the mistake of taking sysadmin duties too seriously: http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/.

$ ps -aux

pgrep is good, you can grep for pid's. Good when you want to kill multiple pids with similar names, you can pass them to 'kill'
killall is nice and blunt. Simply kills all processes with that name. Chuck a killall -9 in if the process is misbehaving and won't die.
