Kisianik :
Prior to advising on CPU, we need clarification of your Dell PC model - according to MOBO you have Optiplex 745, and most likely Mini Tower version (regular looking configuration, not skinny).
Second question - are you residing in US or elsewhere - you would have to look for used parts for cooling upgrade etc.
Third question. What is your budget? Provide in your currency please.
Forth and last one. What is the purpose of your upgrade?
Your turn.
