Hi, My uncle is upgrading his pc from a pentium d to core2quad. His mobo is Asus p5q vm. Use of this upgrade is mainly for coral draw and Adobe master suite particularly Photoshop,premier and flash. He is not a gamer. but loves to play. I am suggested him a q9650 cpu. any better ideas please fire it.
his rig specs are
P5Q-VM board socket 775
Ram Kingston 800mhz 8gb(4x2) ddr2
Seagate 1tb hdd
zalman inps x10
22 inch led based monitor
Processor = ????
and choices are
1) Must be quad core processor
2) Price between $150 to $300
3) A good overclocker
4) Processor must be Socket 775
5) dont suggest a sandy bridge because he bought that mobo yesterday. his old mobo is asrock g41m-vs2
