Which motherboard to buy?

[techcheat]

Hi Guys,
I came across this forum via internet. Needless to say I am so impressed with the great community we have over here. I am planning to buy an AMD Athlon 3000 CPU this month, and am wondering about which motherboard to buy. I was interested in ASUS a8n vm csm (whats delhi Nehru Place price?), gigabyte k8n-gmf9, ASUS K8N-VM, ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 ... etc. My primary requirement are Nvidea 6100 or 6150 integrated in the mobo. Only problem is that most of these mobos dont have an SVideo out, forcing me to buy a graphic card as well. I want to delay the purchase of graphic card. In any case, please recommend the most cost effective mobo for AMD Athlon 3000.... Thanks for your replies.
Also found Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe (nForce4 SLiX16).... which one is better, nForce4 or GeForce 6150? I am lost?


Hope I didnt make any newb mistakes.
Cheers,

Ok here is a tentative configuration I have in mind:

Asus A8N-VM CSM - 4.5k (No TV-OUT.... hate this)
AMD Athlon 3000 - 5.5k
Cabinet 400 W - 1.5k
TV Tuner + Remote - 1.5k
RAM 512 - 2k
Hard Disk 80 GB Seagate Baracuda- 2.5k
DVD Combo - 1.5k
Mouse + Keyboard WireLess - 1.5k
Monitor 17 inch Real Flat (Viewsonic E72f+) - 6.5k
Speaker Altec Lansing 2.1 - 2.5 k
=======================================
Total Cost - 29.5k
=======================================

The mobo I have shortlisted has a TV Encoder... does this mean that it has inbuilt TV Tuner? Sorry for asking dumb questions, but I am lost.

I will add graphic card later.
Now the question I have is specific, I want to know the difference in graphics between nForce 4 mobo and GeForce 6150 based mobo. I know that GeForce 6150 mobo has better graphics than to have a dedicated AGP 5500 from Nvidea.
Now what I am not sure is where does nForce 4 fit in as far as on board graphics are concerned. As my first priority is to delay addition of a dedicated PCIe Card. I know that nForce4 can give you 2 slots for PCIe cards working in parallel etc. but what about its on board graphics compared to 6150? Does it support Directx9? What is the current street price.
Also please feel free to suggest anything else in above configuartion? I am willing to change. I plan to add RAM also at a later date.
BTW my freind is in Singapore, but I checked some websites there and their prices seem to be more or less the same in Nehru Place, or are they a lot cheaper there?
Please let me know..... the goal is to have a decent Entertainment System.... but add gradually.
