New Rig, MB decisions ... ug

Hey all. I'm building a new rig that will primarily be used for a work machine, not gaming. I'd like it to be as 'future proof' as possible, but also do not need many of the perks associated with 'power-house' machines. My motherboard budget allows for a maximum of $110 including any taxes and/or shipping price. Discounts are good if they bring the price below the 110 mark, and here are a few requirements.
USB 3.0*
1 PCI-E 2.0
AMD3 Socket/Phenom II for a Calisto 955
No onboard video
1333 compatible memory
1 Pata
Core Unlocking ability
ATX
Sata 6gb*
* at least 1 if possible
At the moment, I have the CPU, one stick of memory, the hard drive and a hand me down GPU
Memory :

CPU :

I shop only on newegg for computer parts and am torn on a selection of 3 of them:
ASUS :

MSI :

Any input anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Ya, the G55 was just on sale over the weekend for 5 less dollars and I couldn't pull the trigger, they all have what I'd want, but each lack one thing the other(s) has/have. I do take into account user feedback, and that alone can be difficult.

I've forgotten more about this game then most people will ever know.
