Processor to pair with a gtx 750 ti

[avtechq07]

I currently have a core 2 duo e8400 which has become old and i also own a gtx 750 ti,which is the best intel processor to pair with it to play latest games even at low settings on 768p.I have corsair vs 450 psu...

I would recommend an i3-4130 at least. Or even better would be an i7 4960X.

The 2nd one must be a joke. That would be total overkill.

I would recommend i5 4440 or 4460. (if you prefer Intel)
Or AMD FX-8320/FX-8320E if you want to cheap out.

If you do prefer intel, you can also try Core i5-4690K.

Almost any i series Intel processor would do good with GTX 750Ti.

But on the PSU side, I would recommend to change it as well. Better go for a Seasonic or Antec PSU which have better capacitors and better efficiency.

What motherboard do you have?
Without changing your motherboard, your best bet is to buy a used E8700 and try to overclock a bit.

If you will change out your motherboard and ram, look for a lga1150 motherboard for about $50 and a G3258 cpu for $65.
Plan on overclocking the G3258 to the 4.0 level.
The nice thing about the G3258 option is that the motherboard will support a future i3, i5, i7 upgrade.

Your psu is fine for any cpu upgrade.
