If it's to be a gaming rig, get phenom x3 720 BE for less than 8k and spend extra money on a better gpu, say GTX 260 for 11k and psu tagan 500w or corsair 450w and samsung 22". A radeon 4770 though would work with a cheaper psu say coolermaster 500w extreme power. Games use very less gain over more than 2 cores and almost no advantage more than 3 cores.
