Motherboard for AMD Phenom II X3 710 triple-core processor

[Knighty]

Heya guys, recently the heat sync clips have snapped off the holder and I can't find another holder which means I'm going to have to buy a new motherboard but I don't know what one I can get what won't blow my computer up lol..

I have an acer machine and my processor is;

AMD Phenom II
X3 710 triple-core processor ..

Can someone help me by telling me what motherboard I can get which isn't too expensive?

Thanks in advanced.

Well, you can go with the ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA Geforce 7025/nForce 630a Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. It is not a very high budget motherboard and it supports the AMD AM3/AM2+/AM2 ;Phenom™II /Athlon™II /Phenom™ / Athlon™ /Sempron™ Processors
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet™ Technology. You can get more information for same over here.

Thanks for getting back to me, the one that you posted up said nvidia.. The graphics card in the machine at the minute isn't nvidia.. Would that matter?
And also has 6GB DDR3 memory..
Sorry I'm a complete novice at this sort of thing..

What graphics card is installed in the machine then? If it is a PCIe based then it would definitely fit in the motherboard that I have recommended as it is having 1 x PCIe x16 expansion slot which is used for another graphics card. The NVIDIA Geforce 7025 is a onboard graphics that comes with the mobo itself but by disabling it from the BIOS you can enable the second video card if needed.

The graphics card in there at the minute is an ATI Radeon HD 4850 1024MB.. To be fair I don't mind spending up to £60/£70 on a motherboard as long as it is worth it.. Thanks for the quick reply by the way

Yes, you can fit that ATI Radeon HD 4850 1024MB easily on the motherboard. There is another motherboard called MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard that will also support the processor pretty much, and it also has 4 x PCI Express 2.0 x16, however i like the asus brand rather than the msi till i have used so far.

Thanks a lot for all your help, will the motherboard support DDR3?
