For good up to date information about processors, go to http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
For the money, the Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz is a very good performer.
I just built a system using AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core on an ASUS M5A786-M/USB3 motherboard with 2 x 4GB DDR3 SDRAM. With the included software, it can be easily overclocked. It is not as good as the Intel I mentioned above, but I shall be passing it on in about 6 months.
Word of warning about the case - Don't get a really cheap one as everything will be more difficult to fit. Especially look for the front connectors that you will want to have.
