I have the Asus Z270-p Prime Motherboard - which CPUs can I upgrade to (from G4400 Pentium)?

Hi! 

 

My PC is feeling a bit slow lately (it was fine, perhaps latest windows update or something). 

 

Was wondering which CPUs can I update to. 

 

I see that this is a LGA-1151 socket:

I just don't want to mess this up before I make an order on a certain CPU (I think i3 would be enough for my needs). 

 

THANKS!!!

Thank you. Would you say it's worth the CPU upgrade? Or should I just buy a new PC?

depends

what cpu do you have now and is that the only other upgrade you would make if not 

it might be easier getting a 10th or 11th gen board with a cheap i3 

i imagine 130 or less for a cpu

for a used 7th gen or 6th gen it wouldnt be bad but it all depends again what your using now and how you plan to use your computer

Will look into pricing of 7th gen intel cpus. 

thanks for the help!!
