It will fit. Pentium D is LGA775 it will dock to the G31 chipset. (Read -- change vendor).

Also here is the list of the Pentium D CPUs. Your CPU should be on it, depicting LGA775 architecture.

Good board: Gigabyte GA-G41MES2L, for RS. 3098.

Also from this link, you can browse forward and see them in your range.

Gigabyte G31M-ES2L @ 2.4k is good too. Cheaper and will serve the purpose of OP well.

Supports almost any CPU one can throw at it with LGA775 socket of course.
