To keep this concise, I need a CPU that is quad core, is as fast as or faster than the Q6600 but also can be £100 or less, currently i have found a deal for the Q6600 for £22, and i just want to see if anything is better in terms of speed. The sweet spot for me is around £50 and any more that the CPU has to be really impressive to buy.

My motherboard is a DDR3 Motherboard by ASUS i believe begins with P5G something and is mATX. as for RAM i got 1333mhz ram, but my current cpu has FSB of 800mhz and i NEED an upgrade on this socket. I will soon buy a new PC, but my recently new purchase of GTA 5 calls for a more powerful CPU than my puny E5800.

Thanks in advance, i will update this thread with details of my PC MoBo. I got a gtx660ti and a 320w PSU so anything below 100w and a £100 i would be glad, i do not mind if they are used or not as long as the meet that criteria. (has to be similar or more powerful than Q6600)

Again, thanks so much!

I'm not sure what the prices are in the UK, but you might be able to get an Athlon X4 860K and motherboard for that much. You look like you already have DDR3, I don't think they made DDR2 that fast, so that you won't need new RAM. The Athlon X4 860K annilahlates the C2Q and even the Nehalem/Westmere i7s are similar or slower. Really unless there is no way to get it, just pick up an Athlon X4 860K. It's not really worth the bother for a C2Q as a stopgap measure because it just won't perform very well at all, especially since it has to communicate through that aging 800mHz FSB.
