I'm sure some of the below could be tweaked. Keep in mind that it would be best to buy local on the motherboard to see if it's got the latest BIOS or have a backup plan of knowing a local shop that will update the BIOS for cheap/free. Additionally, if you go with option 1 and there is a little extra, squeeze in the 2400G instead.

 

Option 1:
