1) Low budget isn't very specific.

2) Intel CPU's won't run on that Motherboard.

3) Best is relative, it depends on workload.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools - Douglas Adams

If you want to upgrade your CPU without spending too much money I would go for an AMD processor using the AM3 socket. Then you neither have to upgrade the motherboard or the RAM. Then it's basically up to how much you want to spend on it.

I don't believe he was serious.. At least.. I hope not.

Anyways. I believe it supports the AMD Phenom 2 series as well? So then probably the AMD Phenom 2 X6 1100T would be the best option as far as I am aware. You can pick them up at eBay for roughly $100.
