X58 vs 775 - Gaming?

I was just wondering of someone could give me some tips on which would be better for "GAMING".

A high end 775 motherboard with a high end core 2 duo cpu,

or an x58 mobo with the cheapest i7 cpu??

thanks.

x58 with the i7 920.

You can overclock with it too, just takes some tweaking.
