3700+ or Opty 146

The Opteron could be the best clocker of the two but mileage varies. Are you an experienced overclocker? If you fork out for the Opty and then find that the rest of your hardware isn't up to the job of overclocking it you'll be disappointed.
The 3700+ San Diego is a good clocker too but faster at stock. Have you considered going Dual-core?

I have a 3700 thats running on stock volts and cooling at 2.8GHz. Ive never seen it go above 46 degrees.
Although, I would have bought a 146 when I was looking for a new processor but Overclockers never had any in stock so I just went with the 3700 as a second choice. I reckon I could get close to 3GHz with mine once I get a decent CPU cooler.
At the end of the day there both good CPUs and you cant really go wrong with either.
