Well if the phenom II x4 945 is the highest you can afford, i would get that. Although if you can spend a little more then i would get the phenom II x4 955. it's 200Mhz faster and with it being a black edition cpu, it has an unlock multiplier for easier over clocking when you need the extra speed boost.
