I live in Mexico too, so here are some suggestions:
AMD Processors are quite fast under Linux
Intel Processors are best supported in Linux
Intel Chipset: G31, G45, P45, P43, P35
AMD Chipset: 690G, 780G
nVidia Chipsets: nForce 430, nForce 630a
stay away from Ati cards, they cost much trouble sometimes, I prefer
nVidia cards(8800GT/GS, 9500GT, etc.)

My mainboards are:
Asus P5KPL-CM (Intel)
Asus P5K SE/EPU (Intel)
Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G (Intel)
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H (AMD)
MSI G45M (Intel)
Intel D946GZIS (Intel)

Saludos.
