AMD chips are usually cheaper than Intel ones of similar capabilities. Here is a link to an Asus motherboard (good quality) for AMD chips, which also has audio and video onboard, $66.99 at rakuten.com (formerly buy.com): http://www.rakuten.com/sr/searchresults.aspx?qu=asus+A68HM-E
Do remember, you still need a case, power supply, CPU chip, RAM, disc drive, and operating system.
