I will assume that you are using an AM3 PII?
Here is one that is $140, I've been looking at it for my next upgrade.

This one is $120 after rebate, crossfire at x16, x8.

Remember that these are AM3/DDR3 mobos, since that is what I'm assuming you are using. I think I will be wrong.

Gigabyte 790Xs are the best value.
