Well im trying to upgrade some key components on a past build i have. I want to get a new motherboard, case, and CPU. I was looking at everything and a few questions came to mind.

A lot of the boards have Nvidia chip sets, but does that mean i have to use an Nvidia video card?

whats the difference between 754, 939, and AM2 sockets. In both respects of the CPU and Mobo.

I want to around 100-150 on the mobo and around 200 for the processor (250 if it comes with the heat sink)

any suggestions of the best stuff i can get for my cash?

also i was thinking about gettin a smaller case, does that effect the size of the mobo and other things ?
