This is the build I recommend :

+ Fx 6300, 6 cores at 3.5 Ghz, Highly overclockable.
+ Stock HeatSink Fan, you can grab a good one when you want to overclock
+ 7970 Ghz Edition, one of the best GPU's on the market.
+ 8GB RAM
+ 1TB HDD
+ 600W PSU
+ Extreme 3 board from Asrock with overclocking potential.
