So I am a first-time computer builder and I want a reliable, future proof motherboard. I'm not too big of a gamer the most graphic intense game I plan to play will be starcraft 2 with a full hd monitor.
I want at least 1 pcie x16 card slot
An AM3 socket that runs AMD phenom ii x4 955 out of the box (doesn't need bios update)
A onboard sound and video chip
Has atleast 1 pci slot
atleast 1 pcie x1 slot for a wireless adapter
Atleast 4 usbs
I know integrated gpus are pretty much trash but i'm a little low on money so an integrated card will do for now.
------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some boards I'm looking at

Could you please give me a good board model that fits the specifications above as well as giving me an opinion on the boards I'm looking at.
Thanks
