Hi Todd,
I have an Asus M2NPN-VM mother board with Athlon 64X2 dual core,
MSI NX7300 GT-TD256E 256 MB DDR2 TV-out DVI HDTV Video Card. All just 
worked, no problems,
all worked fine. Only problem had to install a Pci serial card as no 
serial port on mother board.

Mother Board cost A$169 
Athlon 64X2 dual core A$205
MSI NX7300 GT-TD256E 256 MB A$153 May be cheaper ways to go though.
Hope this helps
Take Care
Winton
