any FM2 or FM2+ motherboard. But since this is an APU and will most likely run without any video card, you would be better getting something which can support high clock memory for faster video RAM. anyway here is a list of some motherboard for this APU. keep in mind that the cheapest won't allow you to overclock so well and will support slower memory.

gigabyte micro-ATX A55 chip http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaf2a55ms1 (35$)
Asrock micro-ATX A78 chip http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-fm2a78mhd (53$)
gigabyte micro-ATX A88X chip http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaf2a88xmhd3 (58$)
Asrock ATX A88X chip http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-fm2a88xbtc (70$)

to keep it simple...

to keep it simple: the highest is the chip number( A55,A78,A88) the better and the more stable this motherboard will be. we want stability when overclocking.

Micro-ATX and ATX are form factor for motherboard. ATX is normal size, while micro-ATX is for mini-PC. it can hold 2 memory component instead of 2

the last ATX board proposed can support up to 2400 MHZ RAM while other support 2133 max.
