MSI 790FX-GD70, Phenom II X4 965 and 4GB corsair xms3, will run anything you throw at it.

I have been looking at i5. Could you recommend a cheaper Mobo though?

the msi gd65 is a good mobo and a lot cheaper than the asus, which is more for overclockers and power users

If you're gonna get a separate cooler you may aswell get the OEM i5 for cheaper.
