So I've been looking at different games and my bottle neck seems to be the cpu since i already upgraded my graphics card. Seems the socket in my computer should be lga 775 from the computer specs i found online and the processer listed in the computer properties. This is the processor im looking at

Is there anything else I have to worry about other than the socket? power shouldn't be an issue since i upgraded that already. Also is there any other recommendation I know this is old stuff but i wont be buying another comp till after i graduate in a year or so.

If you can make out the MB make/model number printed on it, we might be able to find the CPU support list for the board. Being an OEM pre-built, it won't be easy, but I'm hoping Asus used their standard MBs and not some proprietary version with an off-the-wall BIOS.
