What CPU should I get for a Gigabyte 965P DS4

I currently have an E6300 1.86GHz plugged into my rev.1 965P DS4. I can get rid of this CPU for another useful cause - what is the best cpu I can get, given the 800 fsb of this board (and my OCZ RAM)? Would the 1066fsb cpu's be wasted on it?
 
I forgot to say, the current 1.86ghz cpu is clocked to 2.8 and I want a replacement one that I can clock as far as possible too. Does this change things?
 
Right so I've got it up and running, spent 20-30 minutes just getting a stable setting. It's at 9x330 giving me 2.97GHz, and I've also bought some of that Crucial Ballistix PC-8500 stuff since I had to buy memory anyway and it seems well thought of. What should I be aiming for here? Give me some guidelines as to CPU bus and memory divider, I don't have much of an idea as to what the memory divider should be set at. At the minute if I ask 340+mhz fsb it doesn't boot which isn't too nice.
Also, I'm running a Zalman cnps9700-LED and a few fans and everything is turned down very quietly, and I'm putting preference over quietness than getting outright speed. But I know I should be able to get a bit more :)
