Mobo recomendations for my old system...

[Stino!]

Hey all. Long time lurker, first time poster!
My rig isn't top of the line by any means but still gets the job done decently. Here are the important specs:
Win7 x64
8gb ram (4x 2gig)
Phenom x4 9850 Quad Core
HD 3850
MSi k9a2

Here's the problem...Sparks flew from the rear of my machine today, looks like my motherboard is done for. I am having a HELL of a time finding a replacement. I can't upgrade my whole system (mainly my proc.) unless I can find a mobo and proc. bundle for short money. When searching for hardware the only decent place I know of is Newegg, but they hardly carry what I need. Socket AM2+, and must have 4 ram slots.
Wondering if anyone knew of any good deals or somewhere that may stock hardware that supports older systems.

Amazon has a bunch of them.

Browsing amazon...I know its a stupid question but would my Phenom work on a Phenom II socket?

Newegg actually has 1

Your phenom won't work in an AM3 socket unless the board supports AM2+ as well.

Have you confirmed it is not only the power supply that went out, possibly leaving rest of system functional?
