personally i wont touch amd again.
intel is just way to powerful compared to amd's. id go for a nice q6600 with a 750i http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131232

Sounds good, in my current build I have the C2D 1.86 conroe? And I really have enjoyed it, I bet the Q6600 would be better in my new build since I enjoy muti-tasking app's. Thanks for the great info.

I'd go with Q6600 and 680i (or 780i if I had the money). XFX 680i is a fine one, or the 680i LT version which has 2 USB ports less and only one ethernet possibility instead of 2 (I don't use more then 1). They cost hardly anything yet they are not far behind of a P5K P35 chipset (which is kind of the best out of it's time). As well as the max FSB on that 680i is about 492 if I am correct (492*9=4.4Ghz on a Q6600 if you plan on keeping that stock multiplier, you can put it on 8 to get a 3.9Ghz overclock ofcourse).
