I'm more like outpitting to a tv. Samsung 32 inch HDTV to be exact. According to the Dolphin guys here my rig is enough to run most games at great framerates

Ok guys, parts are ordered, a CM Hyper 212 Heatsink, and new Mobo and the Phenom II X4 955 BE.

Ok so guys, will I be able to run the CPU-intensive games if I OC to 3.6-3.8? I didn't answer this question yet.

Most games should run fine with your setup Overclocked to 3.8ghz
I have a similiar setup
Amd 965 be OC'ed to 3.8ghz (multiplier x18, fsb 210)
8gb ddr3
Nvidia 465x2
Hyper 212 cooler

Try uping you multiplier to 18 and leave your FSB set to 200 in your bios.

Download prime95 (32bit if you are use 32bit windows or 64bit for 64bit)

run prime95 for 24hours under blend test to test stability
if stable (no errors) then try upping your fsb to 210 then run prime95 again.
