thhx m8

the config is similar.... i would be buying a corsair vx 550....so i don't think 650 va ups would handle it, hence the 1 kva model....and for the cabinet... i think cm 690 II basic/ advanced would be a good buy.

i'm also concerned about the heating prob of 965/955 BE.... (so do i need extra/replacement cooler for it?)

also i5 or 965 BE?

965=955 with +1 multiplier... makes no sense paying 1k more... just get the 955 and increase multiplier to make it 965... possible even on stock cooler... u can get upto 3.8Ghz on the stock cooler with a lil ocing...

No man there is a lot more better in the 965 B.E. and it is slightly more expensive, I would recommend you get the 965 B.E. with an 890 GX based motherboard, getting one with the C3 stepping enabled should not be an issue

Actually read tht review... shows the difference to be minimal at best... like i said if u increase the multiplier the processors are the same...amds just trying to charge u fr smething u can do urself... also that review shows there isnt that big difference between the 2 processors and that review is for the old c2 version of the 965 with a TDP of 140w which would actually overclock worse than the 955...

Bru he already said he will not over clock so that is why I suggested also the c3 stepping version of the 965 is easily available I bought mine way back in Jan and is a c3 confirmed, if you go to Tom's Hardware similar results are posted

i absolutely go with his advice
 
On the motherboard front will advise 890GX as it is amore powerful chipset and has all the features the 880 has well worth the slight premium look for ASUS or Gigabyte, I have had bad experience with MSI in a 790GX setup and saw my friends MSI 785G E65 fry in front of my eyes so caution on MSI front
 
I myself have an ASUS motherboard it is fine, Gigabyte is slightly more expensive but comes loaded with features

For monitor go for the Benq Eco series or the G2200HD
