CPU help with new motherboard.

[Teki187]

Arrived yesterday was a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-129-GI)

Now i just need a excellet cpu to stick in this.

Been looking at Q6600 and Q9550.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

i got my q9550 at 4ghz and it could go more. seems like a great chip, espesh now with the e0 stepping which OCuk do.

Depends on your budget and the rest of your system. If you can afford the extra go for the Q9550.
