intel-wise wait for the revised sandybridge mobos to come.
then go for i7-2600k.
or amd-wise there is bulldozer coming. and it's supposed to kick some sandybridge ass. but no one really knows how good it will be.

for gpu, there are choices. if you can wait, then there is amd radeon 6990 and nvidia gtx 590 to choose from. both will be released soon.

better wait for others to post here. no idea of mobo suggestion from my side.
