I hate saying this, but right now, Intel's 2500K is the absolute best way to go for gaming. And I'd personally go with the MSI motherboard - I've pretty much only ever bought their products, and so far, not a single one has given me any trouble. I have a 790FX-GD70 right now, and it's the most rock solid thing I've used so far. They make some really nice motherboards. Plus, they're basically built around being OC-Friendly. :D

Other than that, Corsair RAM is good. Be sure to get a quality PSU, and a GPU that can keep up with the 2500k.

Good luck, and feel free to ask for anything else. :)

Here are a few reviews...
