Can someone suggest me an Intel based 64 bit processor and a motherboard etc? What would be the price of the same. It would be great if a model number is suggested.

Every intel Processor from dual cores are 64Bit processor
Lowest is Intel dual core E5200 3.5K
Medium Core2Duo E7400 5.8K
Motherboard if u want to go with Intel then G33 chipset board for 3.2 K
Budget?
Practically all desktop processors on the market these days, whether Intel or AMD, are 64-bit.
Unless you tell us your budget and/or your intended use, it's not possible to make a meaningful suggestion. The performance and the price can vary by a ratio of more than 10:1. Same with the motherboard.
I need it basically to convert videos etc. Another thing is I need to use a 64 bit Linux OS on it. Also Can I install a 32 bit OS on to a 64 bit system?
I don't have a specific budget but a Motherboard and CPU together within 8000 would be a okay for me.
If you only need to convert videos then a nVidia GPU with CUDA might do the job better than any Intel/AMD CPU for 8k.
You might be better off using your current PC (provided it's not too old) and adding a nVidia GPU to do the transcoding for you.
I haven't ever used CUDA to accelerate CPU intensive tasks but provided you have the right software, the results can be pretty impressive.
Yes, you can use a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit hardware system.I need it basically to convert videos etc. Another thing is I need to use a 64 bit Linux OS on it. Also Can I install a 32 bit OS on to a 64 bit system?

Isn't Linux free?
