ASRock FM2A58M-HD+

Nice motherboard. Easy to set up for a budget build. Has 3 types of video connectors to ensure future compatibility.

Paired with a 'AMD A6-5400K Trinity Dual-Core 3.6GHz'. Using the APU graphics of the chip, which is decent depending on how high a resolution you intend to view for videos and games.

Ram is 'G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)'.

On install of Windows7, the need previously to go to the Asrock site and get drivers: Video, LAN, AMD all in 1 . Windows will initially install generic driver for graphics to get started.
The AMD all in 1, if you point Windows to the general file location for the AMD drivers on your harddrive, will install the 'AMD external events utility', which you can disable in services. I prefer to not have extras processes running that are not needed.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
no onboard graphics

It's a nice board for the price. When booted with a discreet graphics card, it looks and works well.

I bought two of these to use as workplace builds. Neither of them will boot with the on board graphics adapter. I tried the VGA and the DVI-D ports. Nothing. I installed a discreet graphics adapter and it works well. Following a suggestion on a forum, I booted with the discreet adapter and changed the BIOS to make the on board ports default. Still nothing when I tried to reboot without the discreet adapter. If I'm doing something wrong, I would like to know what it is. I have built dozens of computers and this is a first for me.

I've usually had good luck with Asrock products, but this experience is making me question the purchase of them in the future. I am using a FM2 socket processor.
