As far as all in one they don't really exist anymore, video is on the
CPU. With that in mind you have 2 options Intel or AMD. Either will do
you fine, Intel is a better performing CPU but it will cost you if you
want performance since only the i5/i7 CPUs have the higher end HD GPU.
The AMD on board graphics is faster than the Intel while the CPU itself
is slower, and the platform as a whole (MB + CPU) is cheaper.
I would personally recommend getting an Intel setup, Intel is actively
involved in their OSS driver development (AMD are too) unlike nvidia.
On the cheap I would say a Gigabyte H61M series motherboard with an
Intel 2020 CPU (Dual Core).
If you want something that is going to last a few years performance wise
I would go with a H75M series board and an Intel Core i5 3xxx CPU (Quad
Core).
