I used this site to get this: |

That's one of them and I think I saw another one from your list. May I |
| 17 |
make a suggestion tho. It looks like those have a built in video |
| 18 |
system, get a separate video card. Of all the video issues I have ever |
| 19 |
had on Linux, it has been built in video cards. There are other good |
| 20 |
reasons for this too, heat being one of them. |

As to Gigabyte as a brand, I have a 770 based mobo and it works great. |
| 23 |
It's worth every penny and then some. I have also had good luck with |
| 24 |
Abit several years ago. I have installed on a MSI before too and it was |
| 25 |
stable. |

If you want to research other mobos, start here: |

There are two ways to do this. If you have the mobo and can, paste the |
| 32 |
output of lspci -n in the box. If you are researching and don't have |
| 33 |
the mobo yet, click on the links on the left to see if the one you are |
| 34 |
looking for is in the list. When researching a mobo, I find that site |
| 35 |
invaluable to say the least. |

Hope that helps. |
