The best option would be the Q9700, or Q9650 a cheaper one would be the Q6600, which i am also using.

This is the fastest you will find and Overclockable.
Intel Xeon X5460 3.16 Ghz US $52.49
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-X5460-3-16-Ghz-faster-then-Q9650-or-Q9550-Upgrade-your-LGA-775-/251807326572?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa0e2e16c
It may not be listed but if you do a little resarch you will find many people with that motherboard have done so, if your not sure you want to try it then.
CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 PROCESSOR 2-83GHz US $59.89

Either CPU overclocked is still pretty decent.
