Since you're the computer expert around here, you mind finding a Phenom x4 for AM3 on newegg? I just wanted to be sure I got it for the right socket. Thanks.
I can't use PM privileges, sorry.
I'll answer your question here:
For a budget one:

3.2GHz, and comes in-box, so comes with a heatsink.

This one is slower at 3GHz, but it has L3 cache so is a better buy, especially if you wish to overclock.
A good mid range one is the 965:

What you get is depending entirely on your budget.
Here is the entire list of Phenom II X4s for your socket:

The one I don't recommend you get, is the most expensive one. It's just a power saver one, nothing special, and is downclocked.
