Friend of mine has an Amd 6300. He's trying to run an ATI R290 and the current board he has does not support it for some reason.

What is a replacement board that is $50-65 that will allow him to use his AMD 6300 and the ATI R290 card without any issues?

I suggest posting in Computer Help, to diagnose why the video card doesn't work in your friend's current board. As long as it has a PCI-E x16 slot (and all AM3+ boards do), then it should work. If it's not, then swapping boards may not help him out, unless it just happens that the current board's PCI-E slot has burnt out.
