I was looking at doing an A10-6800k build for light duty development work in Unity, but am having some frustrations trying to find a decent motherboard with even basic features. I don't mind spending $120+ for the board, but most of their offerings are pretty cheap and crappy.

I need:
-DP out with support for 1440p
-USB 3.0
-Good overclocking ability

I can't even find an mITX FM2 board that supports DP... Any suggestions? I'm probably just going to build a z87 mITX build when Asus releases their board.

That's too bad. I wish their were higher quality offerings like with Intel-based motherboards.

There is only a single Mini-ITX FM2 A85X motherboard on the market currently that I am aware of -the ASSRock FM2A85X-ITX and it doesn't have DP.

You have to go up to Micro-ATX to find boards with DisplayPort support.

Unfortunately AMD is seen as the value option and doesn't sell in the volume that Intel does so the boards are slim pickings even though the hardware is more than powerful enough.
