I'm not very experienced with computers, I'm just looking for opinions and facts that will help me decide what motherboard I should get. My CPU is the AMD FX-8350. My budget for this is anything under $130. My main purpose will be games but not solely that. I will not be overclocking either. Any information regarding what to look for in a mobo would be great, I don't see any big differences between them when researching. I will possibly be purchasing a GPU as well so suggestions where all 3 things are compatible would be great, thanks

Things to look for.
AM3+ socket.
125W (minimum) for processor with 6+1 VRM but some 4+1 would do too.
SATA3 and USB3
Needs to have integrated graphics if you are not getting a GPU but that makes them more expensive and not suitable for gaming.
If you don't plan on dual GPUs, one PCIe x16 is enough.
Any GPU with PCIe interface will be compatible. (yes even PCIe v3.0).
If you can stick to major manufacturers like Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, and don't worry about "Gaming" part in the names.
