That's basically what I'm getting, except I'm gettin a HIS 4870 1gb. and vista 64. I believe it will ROCK. There's a fellow on here who is almost finished with his phenom II 940 system. I say ya! and also say go for the ati 4850 or 4870, so it will be the platform it was designed for.

I think Phenom II is being overhyped

You can get Q9400 which performs as good as 940 for the same price but has lower TDP

Check the reviews (those are five reviews, not just one), look at gaming charts
