Hi vruhnuba2 -

"Best" is a very relative term. Can you give us an idea what you want to do with your PC after you build it? Is this for gaming? Video transcoding? General purpose web browsing and email?

Toms publishes a "Best Gaming" cpu article monthly, which makes recommendations for best CPUs at various price points.

You may want to take a look at the most recent article:

Hope this helps.

Decent CPU for gaming & / or video editing, solid motherboard for overclocking.

I just noticed I picked the wrong Gigabyte board - meant to suggest the one which rockie has posted - far superior to the board I suggested.
