Rip it apart down to the case and build a beast of a system in it and show it off

That processor is still super useful. Use it as a HTPC. It could do 1080p playback very well. 

 

Either that, or use it as a backup LAN party rig so if anyone wants to game but doesn't have their PC with them, they can use that. It'll perform pretty well.

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

What Motherboard is this? Maybe you can do a BIOS update and put in a Phenom II X4 965. That would be a powerful 2nd PC.

who cares...

upgrade the ram

If my second hand computer is anything to go by ( it cost me nothing and its got a core 2 duo e8500 OC @ 3.8GHz, a 650ti just like my main, with an 80GB drive) you can only go to 8GB, which is enough for everyday users.

Mate you can buy a brand new 290x for that

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

That is correct.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

Nice buy man. I vote shove it in a sexy Silverstone HTPC case and turn it into a dual purpose HTPC/File Server.

650 ti's aren't really 650s, if you actually look at the architecture they are the same as a 660, just with fewer/disabled cuda cores.
