I do not really understand your post
You have a E6550 overclocked to 3.5 is this correct?
Your son needs a new CPU in his mobo whats wrong with the old chip? what cpu is it?
Would you see much of a difference if you upgrade to one of the cpus in post 1?
Going from a E6550 to an E8400 wouldnt be a worthwhile upgrade going from a E6 to a Q9 cpu would be if you do a lot of multitasking or use multi threaded application. You also need to bare in mind if your system was built when the E6 cpus were new then it may not be compatible with an E8 or Q9 cpu
Now if you were to have said go from an E6 to an i5/7 then that would be a different story but that would mean a whole new backbone
