Right now I'm running an AMD FX in an HTPC environment (I know, right? :lol:  ) and I'm thinking of moving that over to a spare rig which will eventually become a server. I want to switch to the Pentium G3258 which I can get at Micro Center for $59, but I need a motherboard that will work well with it and isn't super expensive. I'm talking maybe $50 - $70 here. One of the main reasons I'm switching is because the Gigabyte board I'm using now only has one PWM fan connection and some of the fan cords I use aren't long enough to reach across the case, and because of that the PC gets ridiculously hot. Does anyone have any recommendations or should I go for the MSI H81 motherboard that was used in the system builder Q3 marathon thread?

Oh I should have specified that I need mATX because my case can't accept ATX boards.
