Can anyone name a good Biostar or asus mobo for this?

You really have to know what you will be doing with the computer then go from there. A real good place for research is newegg. You can do a virtual build to make sure everything is compatible and then other builders will review your build.

If you don't want to spend a lot, I have been running this in in the ASUS m5A97LE R2.0 - really has worked well - no issues and performs wonderfully for everything including some High end graphics using a Nvidia gforce GTX550TI - No complaints at all!

I'm using it in this ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Has served me well since the beginning of November anyway :D

i agree with steve - decide what you want this system to do first, then research stuff... you can also do a virtual build with pcpartpicker (which is the site i used)...I ended up with a Gigabyte board (GA-78LMT-USB3) to replace internals of an HP system.. Depending on where you go to buy it, it's holding around $50.. been running it since September with no problems.. :)

I bought this one - ASUSSABERTOOTH X79. Note, you will have to do a mobo update prior to using the cpu. It's super easy and can be done with a usb and clicking one button.

All of that is good. Except the RAM. Check asrocks website for compatible ram.

This would generally be considered an enthusiasts board. Many of its features are for those who like to tinker with overclocks and such. I would think that ASUS has offerings that would fit your criteria equally well at around a $100 price point, but it depends. One of the reasons I bought this board is for the toslink port which seems to be missing on many of the less expensive boards. I would say if you see an ASUS board at a lower price point that has the configuration you want, but maybe not quite as aggressive a bios, I would save some money and pick that up, but I do highly recommend this board otherwise.

I'm running one with a Corsair 850 watt PSU, and wouldn't go any lower than that for this card and any decent kick-ass mobo, MINIMUM. If you're going to get the "good stuff", power it with a good, high quality power supply so you'll have no regrets down the road.

8gb recommend, and other sempron 145 (no idea, unlock cores for its cpu) and no recommend mother board

No both motherboards are different. The first one is very small ATX motherboard and the second one is standard one. Go the Biostar website you can find that they are very different for example, the first one only has two memory slots but the second one has four.

You may be right. Try using this site to find compatibility and the best current prices. http://pcpartpicker.com

No. Go to asus web. I found it only have 2memory slots. Max memory is 16 gb. I was ready to order but I am looking for a better mobo for this price, also I can expand memory in future.

any other website beside asus could been a miss type O or not giving all the info about it... i always double check on hardware. plus learn more about the product from asus.com

I would check Gigabyte's website or ask it on Tom's Hardware forum. They know everything!

It is CRAP send it back. I went thru 2 of these and they both died so there is a problem they wont admit to on this board. buy ASUS MB they are the best. These people also have crappy support. STAY AWAY form gigabyte (I hope they feel this)

I am personally using the Corsair H100i system for mine that I am currently in the process of building, i am also geting the same processor and motherboard as you also. The Corsair system may be you best bet

Go to Computer Upgrade King. Give them a call, they do all the modifications and will be happy to answer all your questions and give you advice on what to purchase. They were very helpful to me. I am quite happy with the Asus.

I personally use an EVGA 500B, but a 500M would also work, and come with the convenience of modularity.

depends on what features you are looking for , but generally speaking i am biased to asus product (i recommend them). i bought this specifically because it has the new m.2 ssd slot (plugs directly into the bottom of the MOBO...very cool and fast with no extra cables)

Gigabyte HybridEFI is the worst EFI implementation anywhere, hands down. I would avoid buying a new Gigabyte board with "dual bios" an "hybrid EFI" for that reason alone. It'll work ok if you only run a single install of Windows and only use the default setup, but anything else is asking for trouble.Get the Asus.
