No man , the phenomIIx2 550BE is more powerful than the 650. It goes at par with the 650 and even beats it at certain cases.

and even you can unlock a third core in the 550BE.

Were you referring to some 'case' after a core unlock?

Best solution
Well your comparing two completely different price ranges. The 650 is $80+ more than the 550.... However, although the 650 does perform very well. The better way to go in my opinion is going with the 550 or the 555 and attempting the unlock of the extra cores, it'll help greatly during multi-tasking not to mention future-proof as games are starting to get more complex and running more cores (sort of). However if your not planning to risk it and money doesn't matter, don't go for the 650 at all, add 20 more dollars and get the i5 750 or the i5 760. Much better deal.

That CPU is good. You can try to unlock it into a quad core. Here are some better prices:

You need DDR3 RAM.

Doesn't look like your mobo can, but still try anyway. Try to update the BIOS first then enable ACC in BIOS to unlock. That guide i posted will also help or WR2's. About the 550 it's unlockable cores make it a great buy, remember though it isn't 100% it will unlock. I bought one and mines didn't but doesn't mean yours can't. The unlocked core will still allow a pretty decent OC to around (the sweet spot) 3.6-3.7ghz. So you'll gain a significant improvement even w/o OC and just the unlock.
