Core 2 Quad Q9650-4700rs/-73.89$
Core 2 Quad Q9550-2800rs/-44$
core 2 duo Q8600-350rs/-5.5$
and iam using gt 1030 gpu for this build which is of 63$

Here's a list of compatible processors: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5Q/HelpDesk_CPU/
core 2 duo Q8600 is actually a dual core with hypertheading, despite "Q" in it. Your best one from these is Core 2 Quad Q9650 which is true 4 core processor.
It's a good match for 1030 but 2GB of RAM is way too little for any kind of gaming.
