work yes, I'd recommend droping the cpu to 955 BE because 965 is a mildly overclocked 955 which costs 60$ more, get the 955 BE and mild overclock it if you must.

I think you're missing the DDR3 memory in your post.

Will any DDR3 RAM work?

Well. After much consideration, I decided to get a 955 BE. Anyway just to ask. Is all Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition?

yes, as long as the motherboard supports it.
In dual channel configuration.

What about Team Xtreem D3-1600? or Team Xtreem D3-1800? or Corsair DDR3-1600 C9 or Corsair DDR3-1600 C8?

PSU is TOTAL overkill. a good 600W would do you fine unless you are looking at a 2nd card in the future in which case a good 700 or 750W would be fine. The Cooler Master UCP 700 is nice.

What do you mean? Means Cooler Master UCP 700 is enough? Anyway what do you mean by "CPU is TOTAL overkill"?

The combination of low latency and low voltage make the G. Skill RAM a good option. It's not the only option, its just my recommendation.

That was a total misspell. I meant PSU, not CPU... I took the UCP letters and mixed them around and got CPU instead of PSU. It was AM, coffee didn't kick in yet.

Anyways, the 700W UCP powersupply is plenty for (2) 4890's it has (4) 19A rails. I'd look into the 5850 if I was you though right off the bat. It should be out in another day or so and offers almost the performance of (2) 4890's in crossfire. It hovers around the 4870x2 at times.

I am getting 900W cause if next time the graphics card or if i want to change my processor to a better one, i can use the 900W.

^ technically that is incorrect. The newer graphics cards consume LESS power and perform better. Same with CPU's. So if lets say you got the 700W... you would need LESS on the next gen of cards and CPU's. The only time you would need like a 900W PSU would be if you are running tons or fans, HD's, and dual GPU graphics cards. But hey... it's your money dude, I'm just trying to maximize your dollar.
