If your not into overclocking, go with the AMD Phenom II X4 955(3.2) AM3 and save your self a little money too. (The PII overclocks well, but u wont get it to 4ghz)

As for your choice of gfx cards, out of the ones you posted, I would go for the 285. You not considering an ATI card ?

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your reply.

I dont have any idea on overclocking. I am new to all these. If you do not mind, could please explain it to me.

Thanks in advance.
