Best value AM2+ CPU

Well, I am still getting reboots, I changed the ram and still the same, seems if I don't overclock my CPU at all (Athlon X2 Kuma Black edition 7750) leaving it at 200 x 13.5 it runs ok, to me that sucks, a new motherboard equivalent to mine would be around AU $300, a CPU chip is much cheaper, any ideas on what the best value for money would be for an X2 or X4 (AM2+)?
Thanks.
This ad from a local supplier, not sure what they are (AM2+/AM3):

Quote:
AMD 940Pin AM2/AM3 (Genuine Retail)

CPU Type-------------------------------------------
Price ($AU)
Sempron LE-1250 / x3 Phenom II 710 / 720-----------39 / 144 / 158
x2 Athlon 7750 / 240 / 245 / 250 / 550---------------75 /75 /82 /96 /133
x4 Phenom 9650 / x4 Phenom II 810 / 945 / 955------129 /185 /235/267
EDIT: Seems that updating my bios I can use AM3 processors such as Athlon II X4 620.
