Gaming Pc Mother Board help?

I am looking to build my son a nice budget gaming pc so he can play games like Cod series, black ops,bf2,bf3,and team fortress 2,etc.

I have everything picked out but not sure what kind of motherboard to get. Its going to be a AMD build. He used to have a nice gigabyte motherboard with HDMI,4 slot memory,ati radeon hd4200 onboard graphics. and 8 channel audio.

I would be looking for the same specs. Must have the 7-8 channel audio, onboard ati 4200 or 4250 "for normal use" and i'm not sure if 2 slot or 4 slot memory is a big deal. I'd like to spend no more than 100.00 if possible.

I'm going off his wish list. any help would be wonderfull.

Update:

I never said the onboard was for gaming. Processor is a am3 socket.

    A 4200/4250 Radeon isn't going to be playing any new games. And it would be impossible to suggest a motherboard without specifying which AMD processor you have

    in case you are able to spare the extra money get a gtx200 sequence or an ati HD4870, evaluate getting 4GB RAM + vista 64bit because it quite is inexpensive for ddr2 maximum appropriate now, i've got heard various evaluations on coolermaster psu's - basically stable issues approximately corsair so per danger evaluate that - additionally think of of different expenses which comprise case/optical drives/OS/soundcard(if no longer making use of integrated) in case you do not have those already.
