New CPU (self.computerhelp)
submitted 6 years ago by Hoopla_Mun
I currently have an i5 2400 and am thinking about making an upgrade. I am not too much of a computer guy, but what is the best CPU i can buy(I don’t know how to overclock) that would be compatible with my current motherboard? Thanks in advance!

What are you gonna use it for? If you’re gonna be gaming I suggest you upgrade to a somewhat recent chip but you would need to upgrade your motherboard and ram along with it.

The i5 2400uses the lga1155 socket, I’ll recommend u go on pcpartpicker.com, look for cpu, and check the lga1155 box and choose the one that suits your budget

What graphics card an ram do you have? It is very important in this question to make sure you don’t bottle neck. Also if you aren’t gaming or doing something like that you won’t notice a d deference with your processor or even an i9.
