Hey, so i decided to not buy a laptop and build a desktop.

I'm thinking of getting a phenom II x2 dual core 3ghz and eventually unlock the other 2 cores and probably get the 965 later. Right now i am not very sure about the graphic card i was thinking of going for a 4850 but there's a 9800gtx for $119 and if i go with ATI crossfire i will probably save more for going with a AMD based GFX and processor.

So i wanted to know some input from you guys thanks

Well all I can say is that you're gonna need one big bad power supply to 'feed' that system.

This. That's for sure lol

Good luck with building you pc

Be careful with unlocking those cores, i heard its possible but there a few things to consider.
For example you'll need a motherboard which is able too, and secondly you'll have to be lucky those 2 other cores are stable enough.
AMD didn't name it a dual core for nothing.. Maybe it was just a failed quad core where only 2 cores worked properly.
