Upgrading my old Dell Optiplex 780

[Scott_92]

I have a old Dell OptiPlex SFF desktop and want to upgrade the processor Which is a Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz 4gb
for a little bit of gaming. My price range is up to $110.

You could probably stick a C2Q in there for $20-30 and buy a GTX 750 Ti with what's left and have an okay low end machine.

In most (all) of SFF OptiPlex-es CPUs are cooled indirectly - the fan is not on top of the CPU but at the end of a funnel. Make sure the replacement CPU does not have greatly different TDP than the one you're replacing.
