Any reason you dont want to go with an Intel?  personally id recommend a C2D E4500 on an ASUS P5K-SE as a good cheap yet powerful system.  Anything based on an Intel chipset is usually a safe bet for *nix compatibility and Nvidia for the video card is another safe bet.  I dont know a great deal about AMD chipsets so i wont go there.  I have everything from a 965 chipset to a P35 chipset and they work out of the box. If you want to go extra extra budget and E2140 will save you around $100 over the E4500 but you do sacrifice a bit of speed to do that.
Just a bit of a brainstorm here but you may be a huge AMD fan so i wont go too far into it.

P.S My local PC store does an E4500 system for under $600 so they are dirt cheap.

Hi

I am thinking of purchasing a new computer, something that Ubuntu will
work with "out of the box".  Could any one give me some suggestions to
what would be a Ubuntu friendly motherboard that is readily available
online and a suitable AMD CPU to match. I am looking at the budget end
of the the market. I was intending also to purchase a N Vidia Ge Force
8500 GT as well as my present ATI card has driven me over the edge. Any
comments and suggestion would be most welcome thanks.

Cheers
Todd
