Quick Help Finding Cheap Motherboard!

Hi guys so my friend had this nice prebuilt HP PC and his parents were going to throw it out, I salvaged any good usable parts and am making him a low budget gaming build with them.

Here is the pc part picker list - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/tyrowe01/saved/hJGd6h

 

I went through many tests while building it and am almost positive the motherboard is faulty, I cannot get a display to appear no matter what I do and I have tried a lot of things. Any methods are appreciated but I am really just looking for a new motherboard to purchase.

 

So this is a hard one to find cheap because I need 6  ddr3 ram slots (4 would be okay I guess if that is even a thing) (there are 6 2 gig ddr3 ram sticks), the motherboard needs to be able to run that GPU in the list and also has a socket that can be used with a Intel - Core i7-930 2.8GHz Quad-Core Processor.
