iam new to all of this computer 'building', but i was wondering which prosesser to go for, intel or AMD. I also want a motherboard which i compatable with pci-e and Agp as well as windows microsoft. The reason why i want a new computer is to play games, surf the net and also to help me with my studing cause im still at school.

Please help me!!:confused:
 
At the moment, AMD offer the best performance for gaming for the money. For a normal budget, an Athlon64 based on the Venice core should meet most needs. Athlon 64 X2s are dual core versions which give better performance when heavily multitasking.

You're really in a situation where the only viable option with future upgradability is PCI-E. AGP is now antiquated and high performance cards are more expensive in AGP than they are in PCI-E. Boards from Asus, Abit, Gigabyte should all be fine, there are others but too many to list which are also good.
 
I wouldn't worry about having AGP and PCI-e unless you have a fairly good AGP card at the minute and don't want to get rid of it quite yet.
