Is this a thing? I got an SSD for my motherboard (Samsung Evo 850) with SATA2 ports and found out after that I needed sata3 ports. So I ordered a new motherboard and its still capped and that's because I need intel sata 3 ports, and I have ASMEDIA 1061 sata 3 ports. I have an AMD processor so I figure I need a AM3/AMD motherboard for it but can't find one with intel sata 3 ports! Do they exist? If so, are there any for below 65$?

The brand of the sata controller has nothing to do with your SSD. Either it works or it doesn't. It MAY affect the performance if you are doing RAID, but you say you have only one. And no, there's no way you'll find a motherboard with Intel hardware and an AMD socket. It's like looking for an iPad with windows. Just make sure it's a board with SATA III, whatever brand it is. Where did you get the idea of needing an intel controller?
