My tip...
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ ADO4200IAA5CU (tray version)
Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H (if you like nvidia)
A "good" cooler COOLER Artic Cooling Freezer 64 PRO - AMD
If you are in the OC thing... then read the http://www.legitreviews.com/article/373/1/ review... low cost... good performance... and remember your eyes can't tell the diference between 100 FPS or 95 FPS

That's an option... but wait until the new 8600 nv cards are out and tested... 8800 are very $$$$, M2N32-SLI is no dought a very NICE MB... here is the conclusion of a review made (overall rating 92%)...
What's hot?
The M2N32-SLI Deluxe has excellent features and solid performance, including a Wi-Fi connection.
What's Not?
There is currently No EPP support in the BIOS and the BIOS is not functional with NVIDIA's nTune 5.0.
So keep your options open (personally I prefer CrossFire)... I'm also in a waiting process...
