Maybe he's in the same situation that I was in years ago where his 1156 board died but he didn't want to buy a new setup. I ended up buying a second-hand ASUS P7P55D-E from eBay - it was a better board than the Foxconn I had that died!
Which brings me neatly onto my next point: my Foxconn was a Chinese board and it was rubbish if you want something decent, but if you only require a basic 1156 board to get a computer up and running and you're not interested in overclocking or features then it's OK. My mate has a Foxconn board in his PC and it's been good for 5 years but he's not into overclocking or anything like that. What specific brand/model is it? Is the board from a Chinese manufacturer or is it a decent board from somebody like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI etc just shipped from China? If it's the latter then if it's too good to be true it probably is (check the shipping costs too, if the board itself is cheap the shipping may be extortionate!)
By the way, you're going to struggle to find an 1156 board with modern features like SATA 6GBps and USB 3.0 and none have PCI Express 3.0 (doesn't matter anyway, the CPUs don't support it). There were only two boards I know of that had both of those: a Gigabyte P55 one and the ASUS P7P55D-E boards (the regular one, the Pro and the Deluxe) that I owned. The Intel P55 chipset doesn't natively support either so both of those boards use third party SATA 6GBps and USB 3.0 controllers. I think my P7P55D-E had a Marvell or a J-Micron SATA controller, or one of each. It had a third party USB 3.0 controller too (can't remember which brand, possibly J-Micron) which was slower than any other USB 3.0 controller I've ever used. They were fine but not as stable or fast as the Intel ones that followed on the later Intel chipsets.
