depending on how much you spend
second gen i5 like this one is cheap enough http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Core-i5-...SwTuJYpFTQ
or if you have a little more to spend a i5 third gen such as this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Core-i5-...SwSzRZSCCF
clearly third gen over the second if you can afford it
but remember they also did second and third gen i7 in that socket as well so it all comes down to price really
one thing to keep in mind look at the second hand pc's on ebay
some that have the second and third gen i5 may well be cheaper then buying the cpu on its own
and don't count out spares or repairs machines, read what it says as some sellers test the hardware
and they say if the cpu is working or not.
when it comes to keeping cost down I will do everything I know possible to help people.
now you know why I am called " that uk pc guy " around here lol
