Mob + Proccy + Ram Combo Req
i was thinkin the same...
LGA 1155 allows you to migrate to Ivy Bridge right? and BD requires AM3+ and New Format MBs.
AMD & Intel switching rolls?
Also one more small Query: If I go for i5 2500K and only intend to OC CPU and not the Intel 3000 gfx as I already have a GTS 250 which will be best mobo to do it. I intend to OC it to modest 4.0 GHz though it can go way above that. Also for that much Air Cooling and Stock Voltage will be unchanged?

if they hadn't, INTEL would have got loads of HATE mail.
And some motherboards are compatible with Bulldozer CPUs, you can google for a list I think.

@ stock cooling 4GHz will be a breeze don't worry.

quick sync will make ULTRA FAST VIDEO CONVERSION possible (when using appropriate software I think).
It's a must for video encoding junkies. Otherwise you can pass, the CPU is fast enough for occasional use.

Increase your RAM to 4GB or more !

^^ unless he's doing photoshop, till now, real world benefits of 8GB RAM is null.
In case BD fails on me or keeps on getting Delayed till my 2yr old son grows old enough to buy him his own rig 
I was just looking at the AMD alternatives available.
970 BE+ Mobo with CFX Support with 880G better chipsets is setting me back by 8.4k+5k = 13.4 k
On the Other Hand i5 2500k with a good Z68 Mobo will be setting me back by atleast 22K.
and my prime aim is gaming then the addition 9k I am spending can be used 6850.
So given an option between below 2 setts what you will guys prefer.
1. Phenom X4 970 BE + HD 6850
2. i5 2500K + GTS 250
Which will be giving me better Gaming Performance? and make me play at Full HD with good frame rates if I upgrade by Monitor in next couple of years.? As I play only RTS Gaming they are always less intensive than FPS.
Sorry for being impatient

I suggest u to take i5 2400 + H67 - 14K in that case...
For gaming i5 2400 is a clear winner over 970 BE
phenom ii 970 vs i5 2400
