For gaming, what motherboard, video card and processor do you recommend?

Price - 150-220$

Video card - 100-170$

Processor - 150-230$
 
not sure on the motherboard, i would think some variant of the p45 would be decent, you could probably get a 4850 for that price, and either an e8500 dual core, or q6600 quad core would probably be decent
 
what's better Q9550 OR E8600. Anyway, I don't see much difference between E8600 and E8400, what about you?
 
motherboard - ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 for $120

Video card - BFG GTX 260 OC edition...right now at BFG store it's only $215...I Just ordered one :)

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale for $180

Total this would fit in your budget and give you a great gaming system. A friend of mine has that motherboard and it runs super stable and he can overclock the crap out of it without issues.
