I heard the new Phenom processors have many improvements over the previous models, I believe the socket is AM3. Take a look at those, and check google for benchmarks if you're interested. :-)

Thats a good CPU for the money right now if you want quad core. Consider the 720BE if you want to save some money. The Asus 790FX ($200) is a good board and it'll be ready for a second 48xx series video card when you add one down the road.

you should look into the socket AM3 phenom II's. the benchmarks are showing that amd is finally producing some decent products. i just ordered a phenom x3 710 which is faster in benchmarks than the 920. it's also a bit cheaper.
