I need to upgrade my CPU on my computer, but I'm not sure what my motherboard allows. I've currently got an Intel Pentium E6700 Dual-Core and need something better to run games on.

Im currently on a 560 also. How do you have a e6700? Mine came with a e5700.

Really the only thing you can upgrade is the gpu and a cruddy gpu at that. cpu you wont get much difference from the models to choose from

are you running on integrated gpu? if so, you need a graphics card, not a cpu.

it supports core 2 quad, so my recomandation: Q9400, Q9550, Q9650.

That's helpful but it says all those cards are discontinued.



those are cpus, not cards, and yes they are discontinued, you can only find them on second hand market. what gpu do you have?

your video card is not for gaming, you could start there if you want to play games, then maybe a cpu. if you keep your pentium pair it with a Radeon HD 7750 or 7770, or Nvidia GTX 650, GTX 650 Ti. if you go for a quad core Q9000 series, pair it with R9 270 or GTX 660.
