Recommend motherboard and processor

Built a pc a couple of years ago (know enough to be dangerous). PC now turns on but shuts down after a couple of minutes. Geek Squad guys thinks it is the motherboard. We only use this pc for gaming. If you were going to replace your motherboard & processor, what would you buy?

Thank you in advance.

I I just built a new gaming rig using a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard and e8500 CPU. I got a combo deal from Newegg for $308. This is a great combo as they can be easily overclocked. I recommend a CPU fan if you do, however, as the stock intel fan is crap. I got a Zalman and it is SWEET!glcm1961

That is some good advice, but you could also pick up a quad cheap now.
