upgrading my processor

[CATREKT]

hi im looking to upgrade my processor but i dont know what processor is better then the one i have now and i dont want to buy a new motherboard 

my current processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.40GHz

my motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5B-Deluxe (LGA 775)

i saw some motherboards which i think will be better but for example the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 965 

but i dont know for sure and i cant find a place to buy it 

suggestions please?

It makes more sense to upgrade your motherboard too as you're working with really dated hardware and the upgrade will see only a minor improvement.

It makes more sense to upgrade your pc with a new motherboard entirely, but your best bet would be a core 2 quad like the q6600.

oh okay i will see if i can find one which is better for a reasonable price

How much could you spend on a new mobo / cpu?

[CATREKT]

idk really if i save up money i think around 300-400 dollars

That budget can net you a LG1150 and an I7 easily. If you are budget oriented, AMD solutions will fit your needs a lot more nicely *wink wink*
