Elaborate your needs outside gaming: if u merely only game and dun do any of the following below

1. Video/Image edit
2. Encode
3. Render
4. Compile
5. Rig functions as Linux workstation
6. CPU intensive engineering computation apps
7. Encryption

then the 955BE would suffice

I would look at Asrock 870Extreme3 and a HD 6870 at configs with far lower price points really for CF + USB/SATA 3.0, etc
