Solution
The Phenom series is worse that the Athlon II series. You will want a Phenom II x4-x6 for gaming. For low-med gaming, x2-x3 is good. If I were you, I would get an hd6850 is you want to play new games, and future games all maxed out with that res. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127566&cm_re=hd6850-_-14-127-566-_-Product good card right there. PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341039&cm_re=OCZ_600w-_-17-341-039-_-Product I own that PSU and it is good. OCZ makes pretty solid PSUs and it is 600w. I heard that it can go 700w, but I wouldn't test it.
guys everything is decided now m stuck at the below two options pls let me know the diff between the two processors and which is future proof and powerful. (note i ll buy a new mobo for the 125watt processor).

the graphics card which i decided is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121419&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-Video+Cards-_-ASUS-_-14121419
 
The AMD Phenom 925 has a clock speed of 2.8Ghz and a lower power usage(95W TDP) where as the Phenom II 955 has a higher clock speed of 3.2 Ghz, and a higher power usage (125W TDP). In a Nutshell; the Phenom II 925 uses less power but performs worse, and the phenom uses more power and performs(by quite a bit) better.
