By far the best deal on the market right now is the AMD Dragon.

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 940
Graphics - ATI 4870x2

Phenom II will cost you significantly lest then an Intel Core i7.

X4 940 / 3.00GHz Socket AM2+ 1800MHz (3600 MT/s) $239.99
Ci7 965EE/3.2GHz LGA1366 6.4 GT/s $1079.99

$840 less.

More bang for your buck.

These processors, even though they haven't been on the market long are already obsolete. In a few months new CPUs will be available.

Do you have a preference as to ATI/nVidia? AMD/Intel? Do you have a monitor? If so, what is the resolution? What games? And as noted ..... what is your budget?

edit: I fergit .... from what vendor and country would you like to purchase?
