Don't buy the 125W Athlon 6000+ since you're board can't support it unless it's the SE or SE Plus version Check the Asus CPU support page
Looks like you're limited to 89W CPUs and the best you can do is the 89W windsor Athlon 6000+, which is a bit hard to find now. I'd say go with the 5400BE and overclock it

Just use something better than the stock cooler to do so

Found the proper page, and he''s right. Sorry about that.
here is my recommendation for a good Aftermarket cooler for that chip, I have had one for a while and it has served me well.

That and the chip that megaman mentioned will run you right under $100.
