Hi, I had a Biostar TA785G3 motherboard and it died today. What are the compatible motherboards for my CPU present in market today? I will be buying online. This computer is used by my dad for basic stuff and since everything works, I'd rather not replace the whole system.

Will AM3+ socket motherboards that have "supports Phenom II" written in their description work?

Thanks

Buy any 760G Chipset MB. Those are cheapest ones with onboard GPU. If you have a GPU the get 970 chipset.
