[Harry_77]

Hi, im looking for the best possible cpu for the lga 775 socket, at the moment i have a Pentium Dual-Core CPUE5800. Could you also include a budget option?
Thanks

QX-9770 would be the fastest, but Q9650, Q9550, even Q6600 are not that far off and cheaper as well as more available. I would not invest in such an old platform. Even a used 2500K would be much, much faster.

If you can find a rev G0 Q6600 on the cheap, it's a "beast" with OC.
but unless your motherboard is a really good OC model, you might aswell upgrade for used MB+Sandy Bridge cpu as said above it would be much faster.

Going to depend solely on your motherboard's CPU Support List.

Thanks for the answer, the Q6600 seems the right choice for me as i don't want to spend too much on this old pc as i will be upgrading soon XD
