Hello, I am currently trying to upgrade my inspiron 530's cpu. I've already upgraded my graphics card and will soon upgrade my psu. If you guys could give me the best gaming cpu that could work for the Inspiron 530. Im pretty sure this version of the 530 can only hold dual cores.

System Sepcs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz 2.67 GHz
4GB of RAM
600w PSU
XFX Radeon 7750 1GB GDDR5
0RY007 Motherboard

With a budget that small you aren't going to get much but here's what i was able to get: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ireY it. These upgrades allow you to have a better processor and more importantly a better motherboard so you can upgrade the cpu in the future (This mobo support the amd fx series processors). But if you can wait so you have more of a budget (which i highly suggest you do) i would go for this as it is way better than the other upgrades: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rbc2. But it is up to you and either way both upgrades are good.
