https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kxs8TW/intel-cpu-bx80662g3900 (intel Celeron G3900) that is really your only option.

Look used. I'd say the Intel Xeon X5450 or X3470. The E5450 is good as well.

You're going to need to spend more. Don't cheap out on the CPU. I did for my first build, and I regretted it.

You need to search second hand stuff then. Also what is the rest of your setup? A CPU alone doesn't do the trick

 

For some ideas on what to choose check my guide.

You can go used and get some great deals.

if you need help picking parts, i'd rather suggest you make up a thread with your total budgets, parts you have / still need, your location, and your specific requirements.
