Hi all,
Thinking of buying a new CPU in order to run most of the newest games at high graphical settings, just wondering which of these would be better money and performance wise.

AMD Phenom ii x4 965 and a new motherboard (more expensive)

or

AMD Phenom ii x6 1045t without buying a new motherboard (cheaper than previous option)

Any idea on which processor would be better, should I splash out and get the 965 with motherboard or stay cheap and get the 1045t?
