Well just make sure if you are using your old motherboard, you get one that is compatible with your motherboard. By that I mean check which CPU socket your motherboard has and make sure to get one that uses that socket. This is of course irrelevant if you're getting a new motherboard, just get one that has the socket the CPU you choose has. Here is a chart that benchmarks CPUs, that should help you compare performance:http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

Powerful games + not expensive = AMD 64

I have purchase CPU/Motherboard combo at Fry`s and off the Internet. I would recommend the same for you. Also the following would be good: SATA hard-drive, 1 Gig of memory, a video card with 128 or 256 MB video card. Make sure you look on manufacturer website for any conflicts between motherboard and video card.
