Ok it’s one of these two builds & I’d like to order ASAP which would be better the 55 or 56 chipset? Also I’ve upped my GPU from a GTX-460 to a ATI 5850 I still may get the 460 & save a little $ & wait & see what’s coming out next then swap out the 460 into a HTPC I’m thinking about , also I just noticed I didnt up my PSU to a Corsair I guess I should maybe do that,

i feel that you are approaching your budget in the same way, the 1366 platform has no place under 1600-1700, and for gaming, youll see pretty much no difference
 
1571, way more gaming power
 
video power is EVERYTHING in gaming right now, so you need to bend around it. dont skimp where it matters most.
