Not much left at newegg. I would check craigslist or one of the hardware for sale forums, such as anandtech. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Socket-Motherboard-Retail-BOXDH55TC/dp/B002ZD6NBA/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322087895&sr=1-6.

You may not need a video card, but I would. Only a few motherboards meet your on-board graphics requirements.

You might want to grab the ASRock H55M/USB3 R2.0 that GhislainG suggested. It has USB 3.0, so it will last you longer.

Edit: The board currently out of stock from Newegg. So you might want to find it elsewhere or buy and equivalent motherboard.
