The AMD X2 4800+ is going to be your best option at around $280-$290

If gaming performance is in mind, you'd be much, much better off with a GPU upgrade.

but yeah, x2 all the way. i'd get a lower-end one though.

Video card needs a serious update. And cpu can be updated to a x3800 OCed with that motherboard.
