What is better intel or amd, I will surf the net watch movies.

Whatever is in your budget. Surfing and watching movies doesn't require much. Either AMD 5600g or intel i5 12400. Both have integrated video.

I am replacing a i7 920 2.67ghz and a asus board, I guess the budget would be around 1500 or so for the board and processor and mem

If you don't do any gaming or anything demanding, then you don't need that high of a budget. You would also want to include an NVME SSD


If you have a Microcenter near you then go there.

SSD - https://www.microcenter.com/product...d-tlc-nand-pcie-gen-4-x4-nvme-m2-internal-ssd

That is just under $435

To be honest that is fine for browsing and movie watching. Would just replace with SSD if that's honestly all you do.
