I was wondering which of these CPU's you would choose as im on a tight budget (using for high gaming and video editing). an honest opinion would be much appreciated.

AMD phenom II x4 960t
AMD phenom II x4 965
AMD FX 6100
AMD phenom II x6 1045t

These are my options (got a budget of £100 and cant go any higher)

Thank you :)

im happy with a quad core, was thinking more 960T because of the unlocked multiplier and the option for the possible 2 extra cores (if i need them in the future), and im swapping my HD6770 and my current arctic freezer 7 pro for my friends new HD6850 so i will need a better CPU to stop my athlon bottlenecking and the FX chips have rather mixed reviews.
 
Id say a phenom definately, from what ive seen, they overclock better, provide more power, and are a better all round processor, go for the one with the highest GHz for the money, id suggest the 3.7ghz one, but im not sure if thats over budget or not.

i could easily overclock a phenom to 4
