Best bang for the buck?

Any suggestions as to what setup would give the best OC bang for the buck? AMD or Intel? Which mobo? I plan on doing the WC thing in the near future, and wish to have a worthy testbed. Ideas?

There is no single best board out there, or single best cpu, there are large numbers of very good boards out there, and even comparing amd vs intel, it isn't clear cut. AMD stuff will perform better out of the box, but if you get a sweet overclocking northwood you can reap higher rewards
