Socket 939 supplies are drying up... better order sooner rather than later. That said... the best gaming CPU for $200 or less has GOT to be the entry-level Core 2 Duo processor by Intel... but like you said, you're stuck on Socket 939.

Good luck making that 6300 run on a 939 socket MB

Oh come on... you haven't heard about the Socket 939 to 775 converter?!? It also converts your DDR to DDR-2 when you install it. I'm pretty sure they're not too expensive.
