Need help on which vid card/cpu I should choose.

For gaming would it be better to get a Phenom II X6 1090T BE and radeon 6850 vid card or Phenom II X4 955 and Radeon 6870 vid card?

The Phenom II X4 955 and Radeon 6870 wold be the better gaming setup. The x4 and x6 are similar in gaming performance but the Radeon 6870 is the better GPU, so you'll get better overall gaming performance.
