I'm already building a gaming desktop with the 270x and what not, so this is asides from that fact.
But I have an older PC with the asus p5gc-mx 1333 motherboard, 2gb DDR2, and an LGA775 socket. I'm getting an old GTX 260 2gb tomorrow for 40$, so figured I'd throw it in there, and pair with a somewhat decent processor. But I'm not familiar with this MB or the socket type. So what's the best CPU I can get for this motherboard? I was thinking an Intel Core E8600. This isn't any specific PC, but it would be cool to have a spare my buddies could play Minecraft with me on or something.
Best CPU for Asus p5gc-mx1333?

The best CPU for that old dead tech motherboard is whatever ASUS as listed on their site
F.Y. I You're a F'n idiot if you pay $40 for a GTX 260 and I don't think they ever came in 2GB

Yeah, a little Googling confirms you're limited to the Core 2 Duos, and not the Quads. What processor do you have at the moment?
For $40 that 260 is better than anything you'll get new, but it's still not a great graphics card and will guzzle electricity when gaming.
