Ok
My brother has been thinking about upgrading his CPU for a while now, but is not sure what to get. Basically its gotta be cheap, not high in watts, and does give a boost in performance over his current CPU. Its also gotta be a X2 he doesnt want anything else with more cores, and he does not overclock.
His current CPU is a X2 4800 2.5GHz, with 2GB of 800MHz Corsair RAM (cant remember the timings) and a ATI 4850 512MB video card.
I was looking at the new line of X2's the 7XXX series and thought maybe one of these could be good enough for him, and give a noticable performance increase? and with everything else he wants ^
His motherboard is a > GA-MA770-DS3

I noticed these benchmarks on the 7750BE and thought that was pretty good....

If anyone has some ideas on what my Bro should get, post away
Thanks
Edit:
O just to let you all know its just for gaming, 99% of the time.
