[dardyboi]

Hey guys im new to pc an i was wondering what cpu i can use on my  asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen i currently have an i5 2500k

 

[Akira Shimazu]

perhaps i7 3770K. your socket i believed was LGA 1155 which Support Gen 2 & 3 Intel chipset. you can go to Xeon but for normal everyday or gaming use the best it's 3770K 3.5GHZ

If you want more than that, then you must buy a new Motherboard then a new CPU on it.....

Both. something like for budget you can go:

i3-9100F or Ryzen 2200G. the intel is stronger actually.

but if you want something like Workstation

i5 9400F or 2600. i personally go for ryzen this one since it has more thread.

3700x + 3600mhz RAM + 2080ti? 200fps with what settings? 1080p ultra? 1440 ultra? 1080p low? 200fps is expensive, and if you don't even have the monitor for it it's pretty much pointless to pay that much to have a monitor bottleneck

Edit: What is your budget? What are your plans for the futur?

ill tell you my motherboard asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen 3 12gb ram ddr3 Core I5 2500k GTX 1050oc Phenix oc Acer KG51Q monitor 750v battery tingy

If you want to get the best of that monitor, get the 3600 or the 2600 if you have a smaller budget, with a good B450 board and RAM sticks around 3200MHZ+, and eventually get a RTX 2060 or Radeon 5700/ 5700XT, but we are talking muchos pesos.

Your limited by your everything. Of you wanna play R6 at decent fps you really need a full upgrade,however I would start with the CPU, motherboard,and RAM. (new platform requires DDR4) then look to upgrade the GPU in the future.

ASRock B365 Pro4 LGA1151-CL ATX Desktop Motherboard whould this be alright?

 

[Mathieu9836]

If you want to stay into Intel then yes, that will do the job, i'm not the most knowledgable person about Intel products and chipsets but i think B365 is not overlockable, so it's pretty much useless if you go with the K variant of their processors. I would go with a B450 board and an AMD Zen+ processor, they are very cheap and deliver more performance for the price then Intel's counterpart, you save around 100-125$ for about the same performance.
