If someone is building you one always use a ASUS motherboard and never a VIA anything...
Always use Pentium and NEVER EVER EVER a CELERON!!!!
Your ideal system for all around use would look like this. Penitium 4, DUO CORE 2.5GHZ or above, 19inch or 20inch Flat Screen monitor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, 256MB ATI or NVIDIA graphics card, Logitech quickcam Ultra Vision (BLK), Soundblast Audigy sound card, 5.1 speakers, OPTICAL mouse (no mouse with a ball on the bottom) and keyboard. (Alot of people like wireless keyboards but they take batteries, never do it. Just get a nice usb 2.0 keyboard) Your operating system should be Windows XP Pro at the very least and VISTA Ultimate at the very best. VISTA HOME I guess is fine but you wont regret Ultimate. For a printer always get an all-in-one printer. Fax, copy, print, scan. I recommend the HP 5610 for $99, does it all..
If you do this and buy this type of configuration dont spend more then $1600-$1800 this sytem will last you for 6yrs minimum.
Always update your drivers. Drivers are software that comes with the hardware (Motherboard in your computer (BIOS), and graphics card) Also software like msn messenger, adaware, norton, etc) If you make sure you update those and others on your system you will be ok. Most important software update is WINDOWS UPDATE. Always do that when it comes up. Always.
Drivers help the software and hardware play fair. Everyone is harmony. Binds the system together as one..
Well if you need anything else give me a holla..Remember, NEVER CELERON..
Celeron is the YUGO and WINNABEGO, Pentium DUO CORE is the LEXUS LS460L and BMW 750il and XEON QUAD CORE is the Veyron Bugatti and Spyker C8 Double 12.. (Dell Precisions)
P.S. NEVER PASSWORDS!!!! Always Passphrases. Your password could be "I really hate celer0n ch1ps" The entire sentence with a few numbers for letters. Just as you would write it with all the spaces and cap letter to begin the sentence. Its a strong passphrase. Always have a passphrase on your windows account and always WINDOWS + L when you walk away from the computer. Will lock others out of it.. WINDOWS button is usually next to the ALT button on the left side and the L button at the same time..

Chipset Vs Motherboard

ok,a few things here,it's true a motherboard is built around a chipset but you don't actually have to buy an intel motherboard to get an intel chipset,makers such as Gigabyte make boards that support intel chipsets.
The other point is you say you are interested in buying a system? if that's right I would advise that you don't decide only on the basis of motherboard/chipset etc.
get a system that has the features you want at the price you want to pay,that maybe a system based on a amd chip or intel.
If you are planning on bulding a system that's different,you can then choose a m/b based on a chipset and add whichever cpu fits your needs/budget.
hope this helps,

As long as the processor (CPU) matches the motherboard socket, that's good. Whatever socket your motherboard has will determine the type of CPU you buy if you keep the same motherboard. Any motherboard that has a PCI-e slot will run a PCI-e graphics card, which seems to be the standard configuration for the Geforce 8500GT. If you upgrade the CPU you may need to upgrade the power supply. Check teh power draw for the old CPU and the new one - if the new one draws more you may need to upgrade the power supply. Try without upgrading - if it crashes, or doesn't boot due to power issues, time for a new power supply. It's unlikely for a power supply to be too big for the computer, though some of the 1000W+ power supplies look to be pretty darn big, and if you get something in that area you may want to check first.

The difference between a chipset and a motherboard is somewhat akin to that between an engine and a car.
One isn't better than another. A motherboard is built around a particular chipset.
