Your current motherboard only supports older CPUs so I wouldn't use it. This is the build I'd recommend for your budget, its a black/red theme and you should be able to overclock the CPU to at least 3.8ghz with the stock Wraith cooler. The system will also support your CD drive.

What country are you in?
Bear in mind prices and availability will vary, sometimes by a lot, depending on location so we can only really give you guides rather than solid builds.

This is pretty much the build listed by WildCard999 with German ( Euro ) prices:

Coozie's and Wildcard's builds are both really good builds for the money and are what you should get.

You are on a dead platform and there is not cpu upgrade for it anymore.
Also never buy part by part by the time you have your pc you could've saved a lot or the next best thing has launched.
