all i remember about my Pentium mobile is the overheating shutdowns from starcraft and me saying never again to lower than a i5 even if i had to reach back a few years and it has treated me well so far the only one showing its age is the 2450m in my windows 7 laptop the 4210U i have in this dell xps 1820 is still great   both are dual core i5 with hyper threading which is strange to some people and my desktop is a i5 6500 i guess i buy every other generation a year or 2 late lol. my current desktop is the first real gpu i have had in years i put a  evga 1050ti and have it wound up nice and tight giving me locked 60 FPS in alot of games with vsync on no one gives that little slot powered card enough credit .
 

I would go with something with 4 real cores. The Q6600 I had was a decent overclocking chip and could run most games at 40+ FPS in 2014 on a GTX 770. I now have a R7 2700X and with the GTX 770 that 40 FPS went up to 55-60 FPS on the same games I played in 2014. So I would say a lot.

damn older than i thought since you owned one whats your thoughts on this upgrade how much do you think hes going to gain from it i know what mobile Pentium dual core was like back then but never desktop.

E6500 is 2006-2007. I bought a Q6600 in 2007 and I think it was released in 2006.

i have a 6500 and would love a 6700 to replace it with go from a i5 to a i7 the price is still a problem with that chip they still want ablout $250  for the 6700 and its just not worth it with the new stuff being so cheap.
hell yea i do thats well below market for that cpu its a great starting point for a new gaming/production computer just remember you need atleadt a H board if you arnt going to overclock it and a Z board if you are i would go with the Z if you can afford it its better in the long run and usually better built by a slim margin.

Oh, when I heard dual core and 6700 I instantly thought of skylake i3 processors like the 6100/6300 my bad

hes got a E6500 not even close to 6th gen this new cpu is a major find. hes got wolfdale class cpu 2010ish launch

No I wouldn’t. You can buy a ryzen 3 (4c,8t) for cheaper. Since you have a 6th gen intel you have ddr4, so you’re gonna have to buy ddr3 ram too if you get that i7
Ryzen 5 1600 can be had for $150 new and that’s 6 core 12 t

It would be a big upgrade from what you have. But as said above if you could find a K for around the same price or a little bit more that would be good. If that is the only thing you can find I would say get it,

4770 for 100 is not a bad deal. But you should pay a bit more and get a K version. The overclocked 4770 will prevent CPU bottlenecks when paired with behemoth GPUs like the 1080ti.
