Help picking a new CPU

Hello
I need a new CPU - my existing CPU is not supported by my motherboard ( I have a Asrocket N68-S motherbaord and a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+)
I am looking to get a AMD Phenom II X2 560 or the 565 CPU - both CPUs specs are almost the same the only difference between them are the 560 runs at 3300 MHz and the 565 runs at 3400 MHz - But the 565 is £35 more expensive

Is it worth paying more for the better spec of the Frequencys - I am not a gamer I only play snooker 09 from time to time

The list of supported CPUs for my motherboard can be found here AS rocked site (cant post the link here)

Go for AMD Phenom II X2 560,,,,it will not make much difference... The Phenom II X2, is the best processor in the market,with its dual-core and its 3.3GHz CPU speed. with its hyper-threading technology allows the dual-core processor run like a quad-core. and it is very affordable....well this is my advice,but decision is yours.

You are not a gaming freak so you do not have to change your cpu, stay at your old one.

Seriously X2? especially when you can have X4 or FX for under $100!

i also need a new processor with best performance but on the cheap side thanks

Try google based on your motherboard as ithat determines what CPU's you can choose from and you have not mentioned it.

I already try using google but i need a good one a good pc setup hahaha best performance but in a cheaper price i need users who already bought one so that i can compare this will be a great help for me seniors.

I do not think you will get anyone suggestng anything unless you provide some information. Provide information about what you want to use it for, price range, etc.

i see ok here it is 500$ to 700$ the range for the expenses and it will be gonna use for gaming.

you still have not said what you want, is that for just the CPU (in which case we need to know your motherboard model), or is it for CPU and Motherboard or CPU/Motherboard and Memory, let us know what you want to buy with you budget.

Nice sharing.

If you are confused about specifications, simply visit wiseguys.co.nz and build your virtual PC online. Get to know which PC holds best for you at minimal cost.

UNTIL you know what that mobo is compatible with what processors, you don't buy one plain and simple. You need to find out what mobo you have and then look it up on the mobo mfgs website to find out what processors it will except.
