Hey check out the article at: http://newbcomputerbuild.com/computer-builds/gaming-pc-...

Build at $685 using a Phenom II X4 965. Play allot of games maxed.

A couple of your guys combos dont seem to exist anymore. I took a few items from each of your suggestions and came up with this. Any advice you could give on this config would be great and I havent decided on a case yet.

you don't need the x4 970, get the 955 to save some money then raise the unlocked multiplier 1.5 and your at stock 970 speeds.

I'm also interested in this same price range. So it is a good build with the exception of switching the x4 970 with the 955? If so I think I will purchase this today.

^yes, but if you plan to CF in the future get a 6850 or 6870.
