Hello everybody, and thank you for your time reading this thread.
I'm in serious trouble trying to select a motherboard suitable for my system I'm making (first time making my own PC). I have selected a CPU (AMD A8-7076k, FM2+ socket) and graphics card I'll need (Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, dual slot width) and I am having great difficulty selecting a motherboard suiting my needs.
I will be using this machine for light CAD work (Autodesk 123D, Autodesk Meshmixer, [I know, not a workstation GPU, but that wont be a problem] no assemblies or polygon counts to the billions) and light gaming (minecraft). I'll also be doing the regular internet surfing, including music streaming. I do not plan on doing any overclocking, but may add a second GPU later on. I'm thinking of using 2 8 gigabyte RAM sticks, but what type of RAM is to be determined (unless my graphics card choice determined this already). I would like for the board to have audio and WiFi capabilities. I'd also like for it to have USB 3.0 and maybe even an optics drive and SD card readers (but I can buy USB ones, or is it determined by the case?)The size does not matter, I haven chosen a case.
What I'm asking for you to do is help point me in the direction of appropriate motherboards, or even recommend a specific one because I'm lost in Google's infinite universe of everything. Thank you all so much for your help, its all much appreciated.
