Best Best gen 1 CPU is a 990. Not that many motherboards supported it, and it is $400 used

Best realistic gen 1 cpu is i7-965 which is around $100 used.

As with any CPU, make sure your MoBo can support it.

Used first gen prices are not bad, while a new cpu, motherboard, memory, and windows license costs significantly more, Not to mention a Gen 1 i7 is still going to be better at multi-threaded tasks, now for single thread yeah a modern i3 will beat it by a decent amount.

Firstly, I would not recommend staying with an LGA 1366 MoBo, as that socket is relatively outdated. I would recomend upgrading to an 2011 or 1511. Depends on your budget and what you want to do. LGA 1150 is also a good option if you are on a relatively tight budget.

However, if you want to use an LGA 1366 socket CPU, I would recommend looking at pcpartpicker.com and selecting the 1366 socket on the CPU option.

Best of luck, young adventurer.
