You’re not gonna find an eatx am3 board with m.2 for 30$ mate 

 

edit: the reason being is that eatx is generally reserved exclusively for high end platforms when it comes to consumer stuff, which would be expensive af used because those boards tend to increase in value over time

and m.2 was really in its infancy during AM3+’s lifespan and only the newest of boards would have it, so you’d be looking at the last of the high end AM3 boards which would never be at 30$ or less

 

however 30$ may find you some older OEM boards, or cheaper consumer tier boards, most of your options would be micro atx which would fit fine but might look out of place

 

either gotta lower your standards for a board or increase your budget 

Thanks ill increase my budget to $50-$100

What are you trying to do with it? Putting 100 bucks toward an AM3 system isn't really a good investment at all. Is it a replacement? Is the rest of the system fine? Are you trying to build a system?
