Need help getting a decent CPU for my GA-H61M-S1 and HD 7850.

Hello! My cousin recently gifted me an HD 7850 since I haven't had a video card in a loong time. Now while I also look for a decent (600W, 80 plus?) power supply, it came to my mind upgrading my Intel G645 too, since it's a dual core and I suppose it'll bottleneck the GPU. I don't really understand too much about PC components, so I'd like to ask, what would be a decent upgrade to my actual processor? Preferably something that I can still get unused, I know it's an old motherboard and there are a lot of deals going on around there, but where I live, I can't simply trust getting used stuff (outside the US). Thanks in advance!

Oh sorry, forgot to mention, not too expensive either, I can't really afford the i7's, but I'll take a look and see if I can find something! I was mostly looking for someone who had or knows how a specific CPU runs and is able to reccommend it.

Thanks a lot then! I'll use what you said as a guide, but I'll leave this open for a while to see if I can get a second opinion to strengthen yours!
