looking for a skt1156 m/b - onboard video would be nice. for the onboard video, just need something that would be equal to a 7600gt in xp, but w/ win7. machine will be using a i5-750cpu, 4GB ram and running solidworks and some cam software, probably surfcam. don't want the 'workstation' gpus for what is being done on these, so plain gpus work fine. would prefer going gigabyte since i have had good luck w/ them in the past - good price, excellent reliabability and longevity - very important.
don't need sata6bps or usb3 - sata3 & usb2 is just fine. if possible need a serial port on the back, but if not available anymore, i understand. also, would like at least 1 ide & floppy port (old skool, i know, but i still use that stuff).
also, would prefer full size atx, but micro atx is ok as long as it cover all and has a couple pci slots, a 16x pci-e slot and possibly a 4 or 1x pci-e slot.
thanks in advance for the recommendations
