MSI aegist 3 what is the highest cpu you can put in this pc?

Can you tell what motherboard is in the system? There's different generations of Aegis 3 desktops. If you don't know off the top of your head, try looking under the motherboard tab in HWiNFO.

I'm going to need to know the chipset to tell you what CPUs are compatible. Easiest way is to download HWiNFO and share a screenshot of the Motherboard tab. Here's what it looks like on my system:

A "chipset" is the term for all the logic on the motherboard that facilitates the transfer of data between the CPU, motherboard, and other system components. For me to be able to tell you what the most powerful CPU you can put in your system is, I'm going to need to know the chipset. The easiest way to figure out the chipset is to download HWiNFO (it's free!), navigate to the Motherboard tab on the left-hand side, take a screenshot of what it says there, and send it in this thread.

That motherboard doesn't support overclocking, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to get a K-series CPU (unless you want slightly higher base clocks.) The most powerful one you can get is the Core i7 7700.
