Best gaming cpu/mobo combo

[TomtheBum]

As the title says im looking for opinions on what you think the best mobo/cpu combo is for gaming?

 

[krotchy]

price range?

Cuz if your gonna go nuts:

M2N32-SLI + AMD FX-62 for AMD

or

Intel 975X "badaxe" + a Conroe E6800 on July 23rd (likely cheaper and better)

Ramping Woodcrest is number 1 on Intel's priority ramping list so don't expect to be able to realistically get Conroes for a long while and they most assuredly will be priced over list prices initially. Intel has said that even on Jan. 1st 2007, 75% of desktop volumes will still be netburst cpu's which matches their heavy ramp of Woodcrest since those have the best margins.
