AM3+ is getting harder to find by the day, especially ones suitable for 8 core FX's, so prices reflect it. If it doesn't at least have a heatsink on the FET's I'd avoid it.

Any good motherboard for AM3+ will cost near $100. An upgrade to a Ryzen 5 1600, b450 board, and 8gb ddr4 would cost $200.
It really is not worth it to spend that much to fix your system.

You could sell your old ram for $25 and CPU for $50. This would mean an upgrade would only cost $125, where buying a new board and keeping current ram and CPU would cost $100. See my point?
