Hey guys, I'm gonna upgrade my old pc and give it to my brother. Help me choose the best parts.
These are my rigs:-

Intel Pentium 4 524 (3.06 Ghz)
ASRock 775i65G Motherboard.
512 MB 166.4 Mhz RAM (unrecognized brand)
No GPU, just the on-board chipset graphics. Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller.

Which is the best processor compatible with this motherboard that has LGA 775 socket type.
I'm gonna buy a GPU too without upgrading the motherboard.
I'm looking forward to the Sapphire Radeon H 4650 1 GB AGP 8x.

I want to play Dota 2, Far Cry 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne, Grid 2, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim without a glitch.

As it is LGA 775, GET A NEW PC. You will not be able to play those games without a glitch as LGA775 CPU's will bottleneck the GPU you need. That GPU will not be able to play those games, so consider buying a GTX 650 or more.

this motherboard doesn't support PCIe connectors but an AGP 8x connector to connect the GPU.

Bro. get a new motherboard.
You wont be able to oull this one for more than a year even if u upgrade the parts.
And yes, the processor will bottleneck the GPU. now-a-days games use minimum of 2 cores and there are demanding games using even 4 cores or more.
Motherboard is the main thing, u will not be able to upgrade the RAM, the gpu, the processor and so on, which leaves no point for a good upgrade. :)
