The Phenom II 940 BE is for $190 on Newegg right now....I'd grab it. I love mine.
Now if you want to use the AM3, go with the 720 BE.

Also, depending on how long it is before you build your next system, AMD will have out the new AM3 awesome Quad Cores as well that will be better than the AM2+ Phenom II.

That's how it is, not an Intel fanboy bias. The I7 is better than the Phenom series (even though those Phenoms overclock pretty damn well), but as a result are more expensive (not only in the processor, but in the respective motherboards and memory too).
He said in his post that he was looking for the best AMD processor, but emphasized BEST over AMD. I took the initiative and said that Intel was better for gaming.

The OP clearly stated that he thinks Intel is better.

You can't use an AM2+ chip with an AM3 motherboard....

He asked for the best AMD gaming CPU out there, not to compare amd and intel... Sure i7 is better than Phenom II's overall , but i can bet you won't be able to tell the difference between them in a game, but your wallet will...
