Hello,
building my Ultimate Gaming PC around the M2N7B-LA motherboard any opinions on the AM3 processors?

A Phenom II X4. Any of them will do, but the 955 BE is best value.

^ slickdeal it. you can find it for like $105-$110 after coupon. Or maybe a giftcard if you lucky. i bought it in january before SB for like $155 ;_;

a phenom ii x4 955 to 965 depending on compatibility and budget. get the black edition version for overclockability. add a good aftermarket cooler with the ph ii to keep it cool.

The Best AM3+ Gaming Processor is FX Processors lol... Get the Phenom II x4 955 BE so it can be OC. I Assume you already have a motherboard than get the Phenom II x4 955 BE but if you currently dont have the AM3 MoBo than get a cheap LGA 1155 MoBo and a I3-2125...
