So is my new build better then my old one? If yes i'm going to buy as soon as i hear some comments.
 
You should really save a few buck and get the 955 processor. You can just do a minor overclock to get it to the 3.4ghz of the 965. 955

Otherwise everything looks good to me! If you have the budget I'd get a better video card but that one will be fine. I bought bottom of the barrel for my build(see below) and plan to upgrade later.
 
actually it is as good to get as good of a processor as you can. replacing the Gfx card is much easier then replacing the cpu.
 
Just noticed the 5750 ram combo is to good to pass up. Don't sit on your decission for too long, combos don't last forever.
