I would recommend adding the x955 instead of the 925. Give you more freedom with your processor. Better overclocking. My friend runs it with a stable 4.0 gHz overclock.

Thanks for the suggestion! But they only had up to the AMD Phenom™II X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology and then it jumps to AMD Phenom™II X6 1055T Six-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology.
