Hi,

I have been set with the task of upgrading a system to run games.

I am extremely familiar with gaming machines however I cannot change the motherboard in this case.

Asus P5QL-VM DO

The intel core 2 quad series seems the most practical solution (core 2 extreme are a bit pricey)

The problem im having is that there is such a range of CPUs within the series and the spec is not much difference between succesors/predecesors.

Can anybody suggest which would be best for this board?

I know it is vague, but any replies are appreciated.

PS. I was thinking http://www.dabs.com/products/intel-core-2-quad-q8300-2-50ghz-lga775-fsb1333-4mb-retai-695D.html
 
If you are unable to change the board, then the CPU you posted would be your best bet for the price
