I purchased the Gigabyte 990XA UD3 Mobo, and also the AMD 965 Black Edition. I was definitely thinking i was going to be able to get a bulldozer, but it is looking like i won't be able to. My question is should i just wait and not use the 965, or use it and change to bulldozer later? I only bought the 965 as a last resort backup plan incase i wasn't able to get a BD, but i really want a bulldozer. Will i have problems reinstalling windows 7 if happen to change CPUs?
 
I would use the 965 until you can get a Bulldozer. You will not need to reinstall Windows or anything once you upgrade to Bulldozer. Just make sure you're running the latest bios and drop it in.
 
Ok, should i even worry about trying to overclock the 965? I will only be playing games on it. Trying to have this setup before the 25th for battle field 3. I should be running smoothly huh? My spec below:

AMD 965
Gigabyte fx 990xa Ud3 Mobo
500G HDD WG
12G DDR3 1600(RipJaws)
Gigabyte 6950 1G(870mhz)
Corsair 850watt
I have a thermaltake SpinQ VT(air) cooler and an H50(liquid) cooler (not sure which one to use yet)
Windows 7 Home 64bit
 
Well thats good to know, because i have been stressing about not having the cpu that i wanted for the initial build.
I also have the Sentey Burton 6400 Case
