They don't make AM3 boards anymore, you'll need AM3+ if you want some of the latest and greatest processors. I'd recommend the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 or ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 if you want Crossfire & sli support and vastly superior overclockability.

As for the processor, the most bang for the buck you can get is the FX-6300 and FX-8320. The latter excells at streaming gameplay, recording gameplay, encoding video and pretty much anything that deals with multi core technology. Both are fantastic gaming processors as well.

Both of you, thanks a lot.
