Hey guys. I'm currently in the process of building a new pc. The parts I have already purchased are the gpu and the cpu. So I can cross that off my list.

What I'm currently trying to decide now (And I think this has been even harder than picking the gpu or the cpu) is the motherboard. I'm looking for a motherboard that'll get me a pretty good performance. I'm willing to go from 80 to 130 dollars. Preferably lower is better though.

I'm looking for something with good sound quality also. (Probably shouldn't be too hard to install a custom sound card)

Here are the boards I'm currently looking at.
