HD4650 is not really considered as powerful GPU

Change the motherboard to this

And the CPU to this

And this GPU

but cpu go for i5 2500k instead.

Agreed. In many of the benchmark tests the i5 2500k performs to a similar level in most tests(compared to the i7) - once it has been overclocked. If you are willing to do a bit of overclocking then you could get similar performance and save yourself $100 or so.

And the phenom II x4 955 +ASRock 870 EXTREME3 + will most likely be able to take anything you can throw at it.

Agree with Zach...The i5 2500K can OC to 5GHZ...Safe but a little hot. But even keeping it at 4.5 keeps it performing with an i7. :)

I'd go one extra and get the 880G extreme3, it has better power regulation, better for overclocking and life of the motherboard in general.
