Going to build a new computer? I would suggest starting with motherboard first.

Well, first, you need to find out your socket type.
Google your motherboard to find out.

Well, if you are willing to stretch to €200 you could get an Intel Core i7 860 Lynnfield Quad Core 2.80GHz (1156 Socket). Obviously it depends on your Mobo whether or not you can use this one.
I really recommend the Core i7 range, I have one and several of my friends have them and they are just a really good range.

We can't help you if we don't know what your mobo is.
But heck, just get an i7 980X.

Want an CPU with good price/performance? Choose AMD
Want an CPU that could possible devide by zero and end end all live in this universe as we know it with its awesomenes? Choose Intel i7

As mentioned we need to know the motherboard make and model before we can suggest a processor, but you should already know that if you're planning on attempting a CPU upgrade yourself

I can totally vouch for the Intel i7 aswell! They kick ass!
You can get really cheap x58 motherboards now, so you could considder one of those if you have a spare buck or two.
