What LGA1156 cpu should I get?

[antmaster12]

So right now I have an I3 550 that I am making into a mineral oil pc. I obviously want to change this and overclock it. I am deciding between an I5 650 and an I7 870.Any suggestions on what I should use? I want the most performance i can get without making a dent in my wallet (so under 80 bucks on ebay) And i again i will be overclocking in mineral oil. Thanks

i5-750 is my suggestion. BTW you failed to mention what your motherboard, your ram's specs are and the PSU since they will play a critical role in your overclocking goals.

RAM: DDR3 1333
Motherboard: I got from an HP System Board Elite 8100
PSU: 750w

After doing some research it seems the motherboard cant really do much. So im gonna scrap that and find something else to put in it :/
