Advice / Suggestions - About to buy these components - Hardware & Software

Hey FP, I'm looking to build a rig for gaming & some video rendering (e.g. After Effects). I also want it to be somewhat future proof. I've selected the following components I was just wanting some advice/suggestions on what could be improved (for a similar price). ZOTAC GeForce GTX 465 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £187.99 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-033-ZT[/url] AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1055T 2.80GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail £149.21 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-267-AM[/url] Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AMD 890GX (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard £119.99 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-393-AS[/url] [i]Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 10666C7 (1333MHz) Dual-Channel (KHX1333C7D3K2/4GX) £99.86 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-075-KS[/url][/i] OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply £73.99 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-032-OC[/url] NZXT Apollo Gaming Case - Black NZXT Apollo Gaming Case - Black £56.99 [url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-017-NX[/url] Getting this Ram Instead.

Unless you're doing a lot of rendering, don't get the 1055T. The 955 should be enough for video rendering unless you're doing big projects.

[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;23934788]Unless you're doing a lot of rendering, don't get the 1055T. The 955 should be enough for video rendering unless you're doing big projects.[/QUOTE] I was thinking this too, but it's only £25 difference. I just don't wanna be kicking myself, especially when people start actually developing more software that uses 6 cores.

955 does perform [I]better[/I] than the 1055 on quite a lot of occasions though

[QUOTE=FINLEY;23935014]955 does perform [I]better[/I] than the 1055 on quite a lot of occasions though[/QUOTE] Yeah I read that on a review, but is that not just until software is developed which uses the extra cores? It's just I want to have a CPU that isn't going to be [i]too[/i] out-dated in a few years.

Certainly get 1055T, it's a great chip which OCs like hell also.

955. Future proof right there.
