Hey guys I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend me a good, reliable motherboard that I can use for a new gaming rig that I plan on building. I was going to get a Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD SATA 6GB/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5 internal Bare Drive but I have heard really mixed reviews on this company and I need some guidance. MY budget is about $150.00 USD. Is this a good motherboard if not some recommendations please.

Im confused by ya post a bit .... ya say 1st that ya need a motherboard, then state a Hard drive model which is followed by a question asking if the Seagate HD is a good motherboard.
First the Hard Drive .... Anecdotal evidence is not something to base buying decisions on..... every company has some good stuff and everyone has had some bombers. If ya go database searching over at storagereview.com, you'll find that Seagate made the best ever and the worst ever HD. And you'd be very surprised at the reliability statistics on oft recommended HD's like the Raptor.
As to the Barracuda , which one.....the Barracuda XT (5 year warranty(, is one I'd choose over just about any HD on the market..... the Barracuda, not so much. If I can't get an XT in the build, next one I look for is the WD Black.

The hybrid Momentus XT is another drive I use extensively in builds.
As for MoBos, this is the board I use below $150 - ASUS P8Z77-V LK
