Need help to choose a processor for my motherboard

[choticxxinferno]

I have a GA-945GCM-S2L motherboard from GIGABYTE. I recently added a AMD hd radeon 6570 in my computer but is bottle-necked by my old processor (Intel P4). So can someone suggest a good processor (below 60$) to reduce the bottleneck. I am also having problems to find the compatible processor to my old motherboard.

Take a look at the support list http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2669 and find a Core 2 Duo or Quad that it supports that fits in your price range.

You may or may not have to do a BIOS update as well.
