What's your budget? What are you using the computer for?

well budget is like $225 USD or so...

gaming

Have you bought that motherboard already? If you haven't purchased that already I'd look into spending a little more on your motherboard and slightly less on your CPU, so that you can use DDR2 800 memory.

Are planning on using your "old" DDR4 with the new system? Cause if he is he needs this board.

 

[99F]

The motherboard does support DDR2 but I plan on using DDR memory since I have a bunch of it.

Ok, then first question is budget. Second is what you are going to be doing with the system.

How much of an improvement will I notice if I go from 3.06Ghz Celeron D to the 2nd one in ur link, stock clock?

 

[hermeslyre]

Massive mistake! A Celeron D is crap compared to a C2d. And just because a dual core Pentium D has a higher Ghz speed doesn't mean it's faster, you have to bring pipeline length, Core efficiency (architecture), IPC, etc into play. The processors I listed are the best for your price range.

Edit: Oh crap i did it again. I need to learn to read better.. Going from a celeron d to a C2d is like night and day. Most definitely recommended.

I was recommended this one on another forum because apparently it will work fine with DDR ram. Do you still suggest the ones that you linked or should I go with this instead?
