Which motherboard out of these is better? They are both old. Ha

Asus m5a88-m, asus m3n78-VM, or asus m4a77-td? Doing a basic system build myself. Any recommendations on better mother boards that are cheaper like these would be greatly appreciated also.

I would avoid the Asus M3N78-VM because i uses an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 chipset. NVIDIA is now out of the chipset business and i don't think that motherboard would be supported very well.

Stick with the Asus M5A88-M, it uses an AMD 880G/SB850 chipset.

Thanks! Any other asus boards that are cheap with a lot of expansion possibilities?

These boards are getting rare and because of that some of them can be expensive. I think you've already picked the best one.
