The best gaming CPU for 775 socket

CraftistOf · Jun 23, 2017

I have pretty old motherboard Gigabyte P35-DS3L, also I'm going to buy a GTX 1050 TI GPU (I don't even know if it's supported by my motherboard or it'll fit in my system unit) so I would like to know which CPU for 775 socket will be the best? I want to play some games like GTA V and Fallout 4 on at least medium presets with at least 30-40 FPS. I'm thinking about Intel Core2 Quad Q9400, is it good for gaming? I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

P.S.: currently I have Intel Core2 Duo E4400.

No core 2 quad can keep gta at a steady 30 fps.

The link above is the list of supported CPUs for your motherboard.

If you are buying in the USA, I am seeing some Q9650 CPUs selling for ~$60 on ebay.

If you are playing at 720 resolution, you should be able to run the game on low/medium settings.

A 1050 Ti will probably work in your system. Can you list full system specs?

Or save some money and move away from a 2008 CPU.

of course.

CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E4400 @ 2 GHz
GPU: ASUS GeForce GT660
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3L

I'm also thinking about these specs:

Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500
GPU: MSI GTX 1050 TI (or maybe not MSI, I don't know)
Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 300
RAM: 2 * Kingston PC3-12800 4 GB (8 GB total)

It will be more expensive, but I think it is worth buying.
What do you think?

My budget is $500.

That list is everything you would need for a new build EXCEPT: power supply, monitor, case, peripherals. Comes in at just a few bucks over $500. It would be a significant upgrade over what you are using now.

Spending $500 on your current build would not be a good use of your money.

With that much of a budget, a new build can be had.

What do you think about that?

Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-D LGA 1151, mATX, Ret
CPU: INTEL Core i3 6100
Cooler: DEEPCOOL CK-11509
GPU: MSI GTX 1050 TI
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX FURY Black HX424C15FB/8 DDR4 - 8gb 2400, DIMM, Ret

I am from Russia and this computer costs about 27-28k rubles which is about 450-470 dollars.
I'm thinking of moving HDDs from my current computer if they are compatible.

I've already realized that so I'm trying to make a new build from scratch now.
