X6 is not require for gaming
Go For Phenom 2 955
Instead of Thermaltake NZXT Gamma Case
Go for 6950

Thank's guys, thats helpful. But also should I wait for Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge so the prices would go down?

 

[thlillyr]

I would think they would go down but I can't say they go down the same day they are released. I ususaly noticed the price change about 2 months after release. Does anybody here really know when the prices drop due to a new product release?

 

[PancakeMixG]

Oh alright, but thanks for the advice!
