A six core Phenom is really overkill. There's only a handful of applications that will actually take advantage of that many cores. Most games only use 2-4 cores at most, so you're not gaining anything there. Unless you're running some specific expensive video encoding software, you're really wasting money. The motherboard you're getting has a core unlocker anyway. You'd be much better off just getting the X3, and unlocking the extra core. The X6 is mainly a marketing ploy aimed at those who think more is better.
That video card is pretty badass though. You'll like that....
