Hi, im looking for mobo suggestions, nothing hardcore, but a decent board at a decent price (under $100)

I have some parts already that i was going to upgrade my Gateway DX4380G-UW308 with Acer aahd-vc mobo.

2 kits (16g total) G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) - F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

The current board size is approx is 10" x 10"

How is this board?

The case only accepts mATX which is 9.6" x 9.6" which is the exact size of the board I linked to. The A75 board you linked to is fine if it has compatible BIOS with Richland CPU's (your CPU) out of the box.

My bad. Amazon was showing the wrong dimensions. I have the 65w Trinity APU. The board you recommended has built in graphics, will that matter, since I have an APU?

It is built for the APU and does not have separate integrated GPU, it only capable of displaying from your APU.

Also. Will I be able to use my existing HD without having to reload Win8?

Win 8 is good at repairing itself when finding new hardware so I do not see why not.
