One little thing...
Go for an AM3+ mobo. Otherwise you end up with a socket that has pretty much no future other than the CPU's that will go for it right now (Bulldozer, however, will work on AM3+)... or to be frank, I'd go with an i3 2100 instead of most Phenoms (and especially the 955). It's a good gaming CPU that you can easily upgrade for for an i5 2500/2500k (depending on your mobo/overclocking needs) once you get more money. And the i5 2500 wipes the floor with AMD's current lineup.
I'm not sure how well that sits with your budget since I'm from another country, but it shouldn't move you off too much.
