I'm building a office PC for my mom and I need a motherboard to go with this CPU. I have a crucial M4 drive I'm going to boot from and maybe a 1TB HDD to go with it.

I want USB 3.0, support for i3 3225 obviously, either 2 or 4 ram slots (I think 2 would be fine for an 8 gig kit).

I do NOT need a graphics card since it's an office pc and I have the built in cpu gfx. I guess I would need an onboard audio chip, and a few video output connections (DVI/HDMI).

That pretty much does it. I am partial to gigabyte because that's what I have in my main pc and it works great, plus the utilities are nice (quick boot esp).

I'm thinking between 50-100$. Thanks.
