Which motherboard

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Motherboards Which motherboard

Hi guys!

I'm building a budget computer and I have most of the components ordered but am unsure about the motherboard. I'm looking for an entry level 1155 mobo around or below $130.

I ordered an i5 2400 already and Gskill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600 ram. Also looking to order the Radeon HD 5670.

The computer will mainly be used for movies, and light gaming (eg. Civ 5, BFBC2).

Here are the motherboards I think will work but unsure which one is better:
Asus P8P67-m ~$140 (I believe this one has onboard video)

Gigabyte H67MA ~$105

Biostar TH67+ ~$110

None of those boards have graphics, but they all do take advantage of the processor's built-in graphics. All three of them are from good brands, so I would get the least expensive one that has the features you want.
