May I make a suggestion tho. It looks like those have a built in video system, get a separate video card. Of all the video issues I have ever had on Linux, it has been built in video cards. There are other good 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. It's worth every penny and then some. I have also had good luck with Abit several years ago. I have installed on a MSI before too and it was stable. If you want to research other mobos, start here: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ There are two ways to do this. If you have the mobo and can, paste the output of lspci -n in the box. If you are researching and don't have the mobo yet, click on the links on the left to see if the one you are looking for is in the list. When researching a mobo, I find that site invaluable to say the least. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
