I found out that these are the CPUs that will work for my motherboard,
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=2325
N/A means it doesnt work.

I currently have a Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz (2 CPU's)
I need a CPU that is better than this, since i'm getting a
9800GTX+ in a few days. Any suggetions??

Also I heard some CPUs you can overclock the hell out of it,
but the problem is I don't know how to.
Are there any programs or something to overclock?

It's not supported by my mother board, where it says "N/A" means that its incompatible.
thx though

I'd either go cheap and get the E2180, or go a little more expensive with the E4600.

E6700Sordidus

What's the price range on that? Also they don't even sell it at newegg
Are there any good retail stores that sell CPUs or I have no choice to
buy it online?

you'r in ottawa ? Yes there is futureshop but they sell bad stuff
you will never defeat own shop buidl like sprintcomputer / pc-cyber / networksupply in ottawa try beat them ?
only NCIX / Tigerdirect.ca / NEWEGG canada in november mess with them and those are the biggest online sell part of The north america

i could find case / poweruspply / Ram Cheaper then on online price and even same price as in online in most of case
from ottawa shop like where i go

but when you want to save big load of moeny on buidl of 2500$+ and you'r in ontario / quebec From ncix.com canada world premier canada comptuer store you save money like if it cost 1400$ ? you saved. 175$
from what ud pay from retail store like where i go because of the tax

cause .. when you want a good gaming machine you must know the detail and benchmark im really qualifed for that
cause i care of it. but say that to a guy in ur street? he may call you a no life and diss you

but no matter what you do there always gonna be a people better then you in overclocking / hardware technology spec
like in my union there plenty people better then me but i am really good in hardware picking

il tell you good tips to make one
first make your self a budget around of ur money.
then make a thread on gamespot. we help you but tough you are limited to like E6700 it how it is.
you can still post over-there for overclocking tips afterward with a nice cooling airflow
good cooling airflow device are from 30-70$ with fans.
the Custom build PC union is really good and seem open mind and freeway no strict rules or sorta as i know
you can surely join that union and ask ur question over-there also

alone it a burden to do thing if you can catch up the burden and read up over 100 review and assimilate the information
then u'r a True pc wizard with people to help you it much easier. being self confidence of ur self can lead toward bad decission.
for me i think even a pc wizard sometime discuss with other pc wizard to know more information i know some. they are having extremely high knowledge informations they can block ur head of computer information that you won't understand

with psu voltage / extreme overclocking solution that don't nessarly need Liquid nitrogesn / Dry ice
i hardly know how to do simple good overlcocking and when it the limit before reach extreme overclocking
i just learn from post / and people on my union that is apprently the best over gamespot in computer information

so you see why it confusion when you want to go high it become almost physic. and physic isn't an easy thing as 2+2 = 4
i did find funny how people pannicaed for the hadron colidiers in europe. that simulate big bang for prove theory
of the bosson of moson ? right or how was it called people where scare earth collapse with a black hole
i'm like it not gonna happen. stop crying :D
