Best CPU for FAH?

[mojothehut]

Hey all,
I'm going to build a little rig to pretty much do nothing but
internet&fold, running on Ubuntu.

It's going to be cheap and small, only part I'm willing to spend $150-200 on is the cpu. So I guess I'm wondering what sort of cpu generally folds the fastest.
Dual, quad, 6 core? Like i3 vs some FX chip. Raw mhz the biggest factor in folding?

This rig will run pretty much 24/7 in a nice cool basement room.

Get a cheap CPU and spend the money on a $150-$200 GPU. GPUs can do more work for FAH.

This guy would do well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121714

Yeah, don't even both with CPU folding anymore, it's going away.

Recommend Gtx 750 Ti for this.

Oh weird. For some reason while browsing newegg the 750 series didn't show in the guided results. I assumed it wasn't available yet (I'm not too into the hardware game any more). This is why I recommended that 650.

OP, yeah, definitely go for the 750 nvidia series.
