My motherboard is getting flaky and it's time for a new one.  I have
an AMD 6000+ CPU, 4GB DDR2/800 RAM, 2TB SATA2 HD, Blu-Ray burner, PCI
wireless card, 400W power supply, and ATX case.  I could replace any
of these components if it's worthwhile for some new feature, but I may
as well keep them if it's not.

The most important thing is reliability and Linux compatibility but I
also need HDMI and I figure USB 3.0 is a good idea.  The system is for
playing music and movies, no gaming whatsoever.  If you're familiar
with the current hardware scene, where would you go from here as far
as a motherboard and other components?  Any features a Gentoo'er
should look for?
