The PhenomII 550BE coz you can get a good 785G DDRIII mobo for 5-6k and DDRIII is the way to go now istead of buying a new LGA775 socket.

If you can wait til Jan then new 32nm fab core i-3 processors are going to be released by intel. They core i-3 are priced from $125. So that should be a good option worth waiting.

Phenom II X2 550 is better but my pick instead will be Athlon II X4 620 for 5.5k

and never rely on unlocking of two cores thingy when purchasing AMD processor.
