Motherboard selection for A8-6600K

[inix]

I just ordered A8-6600K, not able to decide which motherboard to go with. I am thinking of going with ASUS A88XM-A as it is available in my country. My requirement is to buy a motherboard that can endure summer heat of 45C, has latest features like UEFI and supports A8-6600K fully. I won't be using it for gaming, but will be using for 10-12 hours/day and expecting a lifespan of 5 years.

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 if you don't plan on upgrading to Kaveri in the future
ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ if you plan on upgrading to Kaveri in the future

The ASUS A88XM-A, will be OK for what you want. I think there is only a 3 year warranty on the board, but it should last a lot longer.

EDIT:
And I stay away from MSI Mobos. Bad QC.

Hey, thanks. I too heard that about MSI. Are there other boards I can go with (FM2 are okay as well, I might not upgrade to Kaveri)? My focus is on durability and UEFI. I need a motherboard that can endure 45C heat in summer and has good RAM and USB3 support.

You might check and see if a gigabyte MB, FM2 or FM2+ is available in your country. Gigabyte uses more metal in their boards and they are durable and able to handle more heat.

Hey, thanks again. Can you please recommend me a few models? Should I pick models from this list? http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/AMD/A8-Series/A8-6600K_motherboards.html

Which one should I go with to have maximum compatibility and best durability?

I would pick just about any one of the F2A85X boards. The newest technology. Find one that fits your budget and fits your case. Any ATX case will fit an ATX board down to a micro.
