I need a budget motherboard for the AMD Phenom 965 BE.

It needs onboard graphics. HDMI preferred. Dual channel for Ram. Good compatibility with the processor.
Most importantly, has to be available on Futureshop.ca lol.. I have a gift card I need to use.

Budget is like 40-85$

So I figured I needed a AM3 or AM3+ mobo so there are only 3 that fit the description I think.

I am confused. The first one says it has no video chipset but if it has DVI plug ins, doesn't that mean it has to have onboard video?
Also I've never used a SSD before. Does it plug in through the same SATA cord? And would a 3gb/s sata header make the SSD slower compared to a 6gb/s?
