Choosing a Motherboard?

Help me, /comp/. I need a motherboard that supports IDE hard drives, DDR RAM, and PCI-E. I don't know what the fuck to look for, though. I'm afraid to buy a crappy motherboard, but I don't won't to spend much money. Would I be able to find anything worthwhile for $50?

I could go to Newegg and try to find a cheap mobo, but I have no idea what to look for beyond the stuff I need it to plug into. Is there anything else to it?

congratulations!, $379 and 1 single expansion slot nice!

buy this board if you are not planning on adding anything to it, ever.


It will not accept a third party graphics card and there is a lack of any expansion slots.

Floppy drive connection is in an awkward place. There's no cable long enough to to reach the front of the case
