A PII/300 or 333 and motherboard is probably going to set you back about $750 right now. You could get a 233 for $450 or less, by April we think you will be able to get a 266 and motherboard for $350. The best place to get them is probably at a local weekend computer show. My motherboard preference is probably the ABit LX5. If you are upgrading a 486, you will probably need new memory and a new video board (most 486's were VLB instead of PCI and used 30 pin simms instead of 72 pin simms). Also, the best PII motherboards are ATX form factor, so you need a new case also. And while your hard drive may work, it's almost certainly not Ultra DMA, which the new motherboard will support, more than doubling the transfer rate. Also, you keyboard will probably have the wrong connector (Din instead of mini-din PS/2). Are you sure that you don't just want to buy a new computer ? Do a search on "Motherboard" and you should find plenty of outlets, most any offering motherboards also sells CPUs.
