My Dad said for my birthday he would get my computer upgraded, can anyone tell me the better types of processors?

The Intel Quad Core i7 is one of the best out there i think,
i'm not sure if i'm on the wrong track here but i assume by a proccesor you mean CPU? -
If price doesn't matter, get an i7.
-
i5-2500K with a Z68 board and an aftermarket cooler. If you can add more hundred bucks.
i7-2600K with the same specs.:) -
If you have an NVIDIA card, get a good Intel processor.
If you have an ATI card, get a good AMD processor.
For Intel I recommend Core 2 Quad, if you have more money then an i5.
For AMD I reccommend my CPU ( AMD Athlon 2 X2 255 ), if you have more money then get a better one.

Core 2 Quad and Athlon II X2 255? Really? You can't even play games at decent fps.
Go with i3-2100 + H61m mobo if you can't afford an i5.
With AMD, get at least Phenom II X4 960T.
What;s your budget anyways? -

470 is powerful, both on performance and giving headaches on electric bill.xD

Well at the place I go to, electro zone, they sell everything for cheap.
-
Yes, I do mean CPU's, I don't just really call em' that.

It is indeed mate, requires pretty good cooling as well!

i3? Meh.... It's about the same as Core 2 Quad.... and yes you can play games at descent FPS
I could run BF3 on medium with 40-50 FPS on this rig and Bad Company 2 on highest settings with about 50-60 FPS... as I said, for Nvidia get an Intel, for ATI get an AMD. -
I'd go for i7 ..! But its just me xD
I bet you can't click that dancin' Buu

But where's the upgrade path? it's a dead end. So yes, it's almost the same as i3 but i3 is much better since you can upgrade easily to i5 or even i7.:) -
