A friend has asked me to build him a computer on a budget and already has a skt775 motherboard. I'm just wondering whether you'd go for the Intel Pentium Dual Core E6700 3.2GHz CPU or an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz for £20 more?

Don't base this build by a s775 mobo with this budget. Sell that mobo and start out

Bugger, Forgot it was the new E6700 and not the old one!!
In that case I am not 100% sure and I will retract my comment

While I agree that would be the best option, he wont sell his M/B as he's only recently bought it.
Then he needs to send it back under the distant selling act.
