I got my AMD Phenom II X4 964 @ 3.4ghz for $195 USD w/tax..I believe your thinking of the 955, which should be about $20 cheaper so about $175-$180 sounds about right w/ tax of course..
I have a gigabyte 5830 (dual fans on it+heatsink) it plays Assassin's Creed 2 maxed out and stays around 45C, and when I max BFBC2 it never goes above 60C.

This will be used primarily for gaming, so will it work good with that? Gaming performance is not affected by Storage Drive. ... unless you include "loading screen" as part of gaming performance, in which case a Raptor or SSD would offer you faster loading screens/bars. so the one suggested above will work fine? also is a 600 watt psu good enough to have this on top of my x4 965 (125 watt version), 5830, 4 gig ram, 1 internal HDD, and 1 external?

that cpu will work great with all the games in "valve complete pack" source engine really only utilizes two cores anyways so that cpu will be fine. 5770 will be fine will all those games, I wouldn't recommend buying gta4 its horrible optimized, your better off with BFBC2.
Actually Valve Source Engine games were among the first to support quad-core CPUs. They almost all do. The issue isn't that they don't support multi-cores, it's just that they aren't demanding enough on the system for them to need anything more than a decent dual-core to run perfectly.
thats what I meant he :P my bad..but your dual core wil be fine for those.

So I'm all out of room on my pc and need a lot more room. On my current hard drive I have vista x64 and linux on there. I was hoping to get a hard drive right around 1tb (750 would be fine), that will do well with gaming. My mobo is an Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H (rest of specs in sig). I was hoping to install windows 7 on the new hard drive and leave the other one alone, is that possible? I'd like to keep it under $120 though, so whatta got?
