For AMD processors, I have had good experiences with Epox motherboards. Only 1 jumper to set, which is the clock multiplier. very much plug and play from there. been running 4 of them for 1.5 yrs w/o trouble.

There is something to be said for buying a Dell. warranty and cross-shipping replacement parts (power supply, etc) is nice. If it were me I would buy the cheapest Dell that would do the job, because the hardware is fairly proprietary, thus it's going to be less of a candidate for much in the way of upgrades, making it even more disposable than a built-from-scratch.

If you're looking to build a system, you must check out NewEgg.com . My 1st hand built pc was made of components that I chose based on recommendations/ratings on NewEgg. have never been happier. Not to mention their prices and selection are unbeatable.
