CPU Reccomendation

[Oreo]

Need a cpu reccomendation, must be intel socket 775. Quad core aswell, £250 budget.

Will use for general computing and gameing (Ok,lots of gameing )

I have crap ram and am not one thats into overclocking, so i want it to be good as stock.

Hit me up reccomendations.

Thanks.

Thanks Vernon and Phil. If sometime in the future i do have the spare money to get good ram and a good cooler, i might try overclocking - maybe. Them two processors good overclockers or not ? Just interested.
