I just lost a motherboard to a Bios update after trying to upgrade to put in a new CPU, however I was looking on eBay to find a motherboard that supported DDR2 RAM and AM2+/AM3 CPU at 125w, and I'm on a 50 dollar budget.

Components:
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus
Phenom x4 9850
4 Gigs of DDR2 RAM ( not sure the clocked speed )
Nvidia GTX 560
ASRock ALIVEXFIRE-ESATA2 R3.0 (Motherboard I am Considering)

Any help on verifying if this computer should work, or finding a better motherboard within the $50 price range would be appreciated.
(Also could this computer run BF3 on low, medium, or high settings at 45-60 FPS?)

It was a crappy OEM Acer Motherboard that even if they had a BIOs Chip for it, I wouldn't want it :p and I actually forgot to mention the motherboard I was considering was a ASRock ALIVEXFIRE-ESATA2 R3.0
 
Well that is an interesting mobo you selected. It has quite the list of options and chips that it supports. I don't know if there is any mobo's left out there that support the original Phenom x4 CPU's. I'm also not sure that you would be able to game on B3 with that setup, but you might be able to with some of the settings turned down.
