Need picking a cheap upgrade to play SC2

[chiyeung]

I have a lga 775. I have a old pentium dual core processor at 1.6 ghz

I am looking to play Sc2 smoothly on 1v1s.

Should i use a Q8300 quad core?

Or should i get a core2duo E7500

Or a really cheap pentium E6600 dual core?

What would be better performance?

Quad core.

FYI, SC2 is threaded for 2 cores so take that into consideration.
