AMD/ATI is currently the best bang for the buck. So maybe a x3 720be with a good 790 series mobo. For the GPU I need your monitor resolution and although you said you have no budget it would still be good to have a limit because their are so many options. Currently though for a good value gaming system the x3 720 is a very good cpu.
