GA-965P-DS3 cpu question

Hello  
If you don't overclock,then E8400 would give you a good boost in performance.
However,i think your board can support a Q6600,and that would be a good upgrade.
Also make sure your VGA cards is good too

hi,

i have same board and can confirm your cpu would work...

i actually run a q6600 clocked at 3.6 ghz - no issues.
