Hi guys. I'm looking for a new processor for my current desktop computer. I have accepted defeat and realize my current processor isn't suitable for 2013 anymore.
Problem is, I haven't the faintest idea where to start. So I'm looking for a quick recommendation. I'm on quite a low budget and ideally I'd like to scoop something up on ebay.
This is my basic info via. speccy
Operating System
MS Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33GHz 53 °C
Conroe 65nm Technology
RAM
4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (5-5-5-18)
Motherboard
ASRock G31M-VS2 (CPUSocket) 28 °C
Graphics
DELL E193FP (1280x1024@60Hz)
AMD Radeon HD 6670 (ASUStek Computer Inc) 34 °C
Hard Drives
233GB Western Digital WDC WD2500JS-22NCB1 ATA Device (SATA) 40 °C
This is my mobo compatability page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G31M-VS2/
It mentions compatibility with, Intel[FONT=Arial]®[/FONT] Core™ 2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo / Pentium[FONT=Arial]®[/FONT] Dual Core / Celeron[FONT=Arial]®[/FONT] Dual Core / Celeron, supporting Penryn Quad Core Yorkfield and Dual Core Wolfdale processors
I don't know where to start.
Also, I don't think I'm using a lot of power, my PSU's output is pretty low, the cpu doesn't consume a lot of power does it, I mean, changing it won't cause a massive change, unlike the GPU or HDD?
Thanks for reading! Hope you can help. Cheers (y)
