Spec me a (limited) CPU upgrade please (ordering tomorrow!) :D

[OCdude]

I'm looking to upgrade the CPU in my ageing PC. My CPU options are listed here

I’m going to be getting an AMD 7850 card and I’m not really looking at spending anything north of £150 (closer to £100 would be good) and also looking to stick with the stock HSF ideally.

Overall I'm just looking for something that'll compliment my new GFX card... but if upgrading the CPU isn't really going to result in any meaningful boost in games, then I won't bother!

Given the list above, what would be my best choice? E6600?

Thanks!

Existing setup:

Asus P5N7A-VM Mobo
Intel e5200
4 GB RAM
nVidia 9300 onboard GFX (upgrading to MSI 7850 1GB)
460w PSU
256GB Samsung SSD

Ideally you would want a quad core so something more like a Q6600 or if you can find one a Q9450 or similar

Tbh if it were me, I would upgrade the mobo, Cpu and memory to something a bit better

I would do, but it's a slippery slope I was originally only planning to upgrade the graphics... but then I thought "well, while i'm there... I might as well upgrade the CPU!" - no more!
