I am builidng a PC for the first time. I think I am going to be using an
AMD A10-7850K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor. I can't decide which motherboard would be best. This isn't a very expensive build, about $315 - $350. It isn't a gaming PC, probably just being used to browse internet, etc. For an operating system, I would install Ubuntu via Flash Drive. I would be using integrated graphics from the CPU, so no video card and definitely no 2,3,4 way SLI. These all have dual-channel memory and 4 RAM slots. Since they are all priced about the same, which one of these would be the best? Since this would be my first build, are there any of these to stay away from? (Complicated wiring or BIOS, etc.) The motherboards I am thinking about are these: Gigabyte F2A78M-D3H, Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H, ASRock M2A88M Pro3+, Asus A88XM-A. THANKS!! -Ethan

Hi Ethan, In my personal opinion I find ASUS hardware to be the best and most reliable and have never had to doubt any ASUS hardware I have owned. Also since this is a general use PC with no gaming or workstation use, then I believe any decision would be a good one.

In terms of BIOS, I have never used anything other than ASUS' EUFI though I would assume they all operate very similarly with few more or less features depending on brand.

I hope this helps you out somewhat.
