Hello. I'm looking for advice in buying new CPU that could solve bottleneck problem that i have with current build.
My specs are:
Intel Pentium E6500 2.93GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P5QPL-AM
RAM: 3GB DDR2
Graphics card: GeForce Gt 240 512MB DDR5
Supply: Corsair 550W CMPSU-550VXEU
I assume this is CPU problem because i found couple threads where people with this processor were given advice to replace it. Also i checked graphics card performance with MSI Afterburner. Running game made processor work with about 95% load and at the same time graphics card worked at about 30-40% (there were visible FPS drops).
I found couple advices about CPU replacement (like g850) but this processors seems to be not supported by my motherboard. And this is issue because i would like to leave current motherboard. As i understand only supported products are listed here http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5QPLAM/#CPUS .
I should add that my budget is limited buy i hope there will be no need for something very expensive to fix this build. So i would like to ask for advice in selection of new part.
When buying PC i asked for good quality supply so i hope it can stay.
Sorry for my english.
