Making new comp. start with the basics

[Max-Powers]

upgrading almost everything in my comp.
decided on my case http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-119-065&DEPA=1 dunno if ill need more power from the psu yet...
so now i need a mobo/cpu. im thinking spending about $250 on the mobo/cpu. i know nothing about what makes a good mobo. i know i want AMD. what type of athlon should i get?

after i get a mobo i know i want, ill look for...
$200-250 on video card
whatever it takes to get 1gig ram
maybe a hard drive. havnt decided yet. what im upgrading from in my sig

the mobo i had picked is out of stock everywhere i see. exept for here
http://www.atacom.com/program/atacom.cgi?KEYWORDS=MBA9_MICS_K8_V4&USER_ID=www&SEARCH=SEARCH_ALL
it says it Supports 3500+, 3800+ Athlon 64FX 53, or higher CPU , that mean it wouldnt work for me anyway? if it would work, should i get it from this place? or go with this
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241159
the neo 4. is the neo 4 better than the neo2? i dont mind spending the extra $. which should i get?
the neo4 is PCI E. would go for the same card in pci E. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=322696 PCI E any better than AGP?
