Alienware AMD motherboard re[acement

[Jay Develin]

My 7 year old Alienware motherboard has just died. I am not a novice with computers, I am just not sure about which motherboard to replace it with.I have a budget of around $100 and would like some recommendations.
The dead board is a Foxconn Nforce 590 SLI-C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H.I believe it is a full ATX.
I was going to replace like for like but I cannot find one anywhere so I think it must be discontinued.
Thanks in advance for any advice.Here are my machine specs.

Alienware Aurora 7500 R4 Full Tower
Foxconn Nforce 590 SLI (dead!)
Athlon 64 X2 5200+ AM2 DC Processor
Nvidia GTS 250 1MB GPU
Windows 7

Hi,

Since your computer is outdated, their are not much option left on the market:

At newegg.com you can get this

or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157274
but only has 1 year warranty...

Might want to invest in a new computer anyways

Thanks for the reply. I am just wanting to get the machine running again so that i can sell it.I was about to clean up the drives and do a clean install when it decided to die on me.Must have known I was going to sell it lol
Just one question,the boards you suggest are micro ATX where the one I am replacing is a full ATX. Would there be any obvious problems replacing it with this ? I am looking forward to my future project
