+1 for the Phenom II 955 best CPU to get right now if you don't won't to spend a lot on an i7 rig. For the GPU you should look at an ATI Radeon 4890 there the same as the GTX 275 plus cheaper and they overclock like a beast. I would go with a different power supply. What is you budget for all of this.
