baba goodone. its Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H

It will be even better if you can spend 1k more and get AMD Phenom II x6 1055t for 7.6k. great performer and futureproof.

Components | Make | Price | Comments
Processor|AMD Phenom II x6 1055t|7500|otherwise look at AMD Phenom II x4 955BE @ 6.5k if you cant spend more. but this is much more futureproof
Motherboard|Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H|4000|alternatively you can look at Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H @ 5.5k. its a full atx and recommended if you will add cards > 9" like HD6850 in general
| Total |11500|

you have DDR3 ram.
psu is separate from budget? if yes i will suggest a Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k. will allow you to add upto 6950 or 560 in future.

Yes, Phenom II 955 BE is actually what he needs.
But still a 6-core proccy is a very good decision for a future proof system.

I am the night...I am...
My vote also goes to phenom 2 x6 1055t. Its very good in multitasking and completely worth its price over a 955be.
