the 8150 is best left alone. It is not much better clock for clock than the Phenom IIs. Also, the module design is more like amds version of HyperThreading, but it sucked away some of the performance of the single cores (like 1 thread per module).
I would say go for a 960T unless you are using a program that absolutely needs 6 cores. With a GTS450, thats not likely.

yeah, unless it's an 1100t for like 150 or 160 and you have a use for 6 cores, i'd say go for the quad core. as far as a 8150, they suck at anything single-threaded, and anything else, they aren't enough better than the phenoms at least to me to recomend them, and also if you want to get one, the 8150 is the same as the 8120 with the multiplier one or 2 higher, not worth the extra cost.
