I have yet to choose a sufficient motherboard. I am looking at a few options:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-128-627
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard @ 79.99 USD
http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-880GA-UD3H-880G-HDMI-Motherboard/dp/B003KISY5M
GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard @ 89.99 USD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard @ 58.99 USD
The mATX is looking very attractive, simply because of its price point and sufficient availability of ports. But The other options are attractive as well, I can't choose between the three. On what basis should I choose the motherboard? Is there another motherboard option that I should consider?
Thanks for all your help.
