1. It doesn't really matter since the I7 would only be a little bit faster than a wolfsdale and possible slower than a yorksfield, so it's not a good choice for dolphin. And it costs a lot more. I just got angry because he said that it was stupid to say an I7 would perform as well as a wolfsdale, that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen someone type.
2. That link is to a mobo not a cpu.
3. First off NEVER EVER EEEVVVVEEERRR USE A PSU THAT CAME WITH A CASE!!!! EVER!!! If that thought even so much as touches your mind destroy it immediately! You will thank me when your power supply is still working after 4 years and didn't burn out your entire system (has never happened to me just saying it is a common occurrence, even a high school friend of mine experienced the pain).
4. Perhaps you sent me the wrong link again. That link sends me to a comparison between a Phenom 945 and 965. Very different internals, different clock rates and the 945 is not black edition.
5. Depends...you'll probably end up with a phenom due to your budget and in that case I would recommend 4GB since it's dual channel. Windows 7 is a memory hog just like vista but it's not as bad since it can use video ram as ram. We'll talk about this more when your online.
