Im fixing an old computer with a 775 lga socket, my motherboard is a G965M-S, its manufacturer is ASRock. It has an Intel Celeron 430 with 8gb of ram. Can someone tell me which is the best gaming CPU for this computer?

I wouldn't get any socket LGA 775 processor for modern gaming. Even a $50 modern Pentium G4560 would run loops around the strongest on that socket in every games/application. The answer to your question tho is a Core 2 Quad Extreme if i'm not mistaken. Hope this helps :)
