Looks pretty good, just wondering why you're opting for an older AMD Phenom II x4 965, instead of like an AMD FX-4100+ for a couple more bucks.

From what I've seen online, the 965 actually seems to be a little bit faster than the FX-4100. Also, the Phenom II will probably just be a temporary thing until Steamroller comes out.
