Budget? Brand preference?

Budget? Brand preference?

I can go up to 60-80$ (if necessary) and I have no preferences really for the brand.

This is probably the best micro-ATX AM3+ board out there, but I don't know how much you're looking to spend.

But it has a really low max RAM capability.

This might be a better choice if you want more than 8GB of RAM.

But it's not the best board around. It is one of only two AM3+ micro-ATX boards readily available that support 32GB of RAM though. Not sure what the monitor has to do with it though.

Listed here are all the micro-ATX boards commonly available for the FX-6300. Only two of them support 32GB of RAM so you've got your choice between the two.

Any idea how the monitor factors in?

I saw the first M-board only supported a 21 inch screen. That's why I said mine is 24 inches. By the way thanks for all the help xD

I don't see anything about a max screen size in the specs. In fact, I've never heard of that. Even my old ass tired Compaq backup laptop will display on my 53" TV @ 1080p. Here's what that first motherboard does say and these others are probably quite similar.

Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 GPU
VGA output support : RGB port
- Supports RGB with max. resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz
Maximum shared memory of 1024 MB
Hybrid CrossFireX™ Support
Supports DirectX 10.1

Yeah, don't know what that's all about but it's wrong.

The M5A78L-M LX only supports up to 4GB modules.

However the M5A78L-M-USB3 supports 8GB modules and a total of 32GB.
