Sorry, I don't know what to select under Sub-category so I just selected Asus, but my real question is, how do I determine which motherboard to choose? I know my question is a bit vague so please bear with me as I'll explain more.
I'll be getting a Phenom II x4 955 BE in 2 - 3 months from now. I'm trying to decide which motherboard to get. I am not planning to overclock anytime soon but I would like the mobo to have that feature as I will try that out after about a year or so. I will be using the rig 90% for gaming and surfing the net. I don't go to school anymore and my line of work doesn't require me to use editing programs, so it's really for gaming mostly. I have read a lot of good reviews for different motherboards and almost all of them have the same features. I want to get the latest yet I don't want to spend to much as I am working on a limited budget. I have already selected some motherboards which I think would be best. I don't think I'll be needing more than 1 GPU or maybe you can give me any suggestion.

These are basically all the motherboards available in our area, so I don't have any other choices. I was planning to get the Asrock mobo because it fits my budget but I'm worried that it won't function that well because it's a bit cheap, so I'm digging deeper into my pocket and I'm willing to spend a bit more if I can get a mobo that function's well enough to last or at least something that won't be obsolete after 1 year or so. Please help me decide.
