Best Current AMD CPU: 9950
Best Current AMD MB IMO: Asus M3A79-T

the 9950 might be the best but certainly not the cheapest.
Sorry, my question is probably vague.
I mean whats the best Value AMD MB/Cpu someone can get?
Based on reliability, good performance and good price.

My best bang for the buck amd setup right now is the asus m3a78t 770 board and a dual core black edition 5400...o/clocks to 3.1-3.3 depends on the chip you get....board is 79.00 on newegg and the cpu is 79.00 also i believe..you can upgrade to a quad when the phenom 2 becomes affordable and asus puts out bios updates very often...the board runs very well and is stable as a rock.....

I went with the X3 Phenom and a Gigabyte 780G combo myself although I'd get a 790GX if you are looking for good onboard video with better OC options.

did you mean the M3A78 -EM or -CM or M3A78 alone?
cos the m3a78-t is over 150$
