under 200..?
well..that's actually too much for athlon2 x4 645..

this one is more than enough for your processor..Asus M5A97 R2.0 => http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97r20
for just $90, you have $110 left for your graphic card..

for that price you can get gigabyte r7 260x=>http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr726xoc2gdrev2

so, for $200, you'll get mobo graphic card combo....


but if you insist to get a motherboard within $200 range, well, i recommend this one, Asus sabertooh 990FX r.2 => http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-sabertooth990fxr20
One of the best am3+ mobo..

One more question. the header on my case is usb 2.0. will it work with a 3.0 header form the mobo?

unfortunately not..
you have to buy usb 3 front panel adapter since your case not support it..something like this =>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811996037
