my recommendation get a socket 775 mobo witha intel e6300 some ddr2 memory and a pcie video card and you got your self a nice little under 500$ rig

thats not true, amd is not going haywire at all... am2 will be useable for at least another year, if not more. s775 is a complete con by intel, they keep the same socket, but try using a conroe with the first generation of 775 boards... socket f is the high end socket, for opterons and now for the fx series, doesnt really affect 99.9% of people. am2+ is not out yet, and when it does come out, it will be 939 pins, with the same orientation as am2 without one pin, so you will be able to use an am2+ cpu in an am2 socket, without ht3 support, and later ddr3. as for the system i would recommend, i would say a cheap dual core amd, as they are fast enough, and there are better quality agp boards than there are for conroe.
