Phenom II X3 720, 7750 if you are on a budget.

Yeah, the Phenom II X3 720 will be the best option for you as your motherboard has a 95W TDP cap.

But I would change the PSU if I were you. 18A isn't sufficient for a 720BE and a 9800GTX+.

I agree with all of the above quotes. But it's not my opinion: it's just a fact. So, I can't really agree. I mean, that would be like me agreeing that water is wet.

The usually-bloated minimum power requirements for the 9800 GTX+ are a 450W PSU with a +12V current rating of 24A. This Turbolink 420W PSU only has a +12V rating of 18A, and so if it powers the GPU, then it'll be cutting it extremely close. It may have quite a strain when there's load on the GPU.

So, what you should get is the best 400W PSU that you can find. Here are some choices that pop into my head:
I think the Enermax will definitely power the rig with the 9800 GTX+, but the other two would definitely be much better choices.
