Need recomendations

I need a Xeon processor for under $10. Preferably with respectable performance, albeit not necessary though. It needs to fit in a LGA 1151 socket. It is perfectly fine if it is used; moreso than not.

Motivation is where, and what you make of it.

Then remove the socket requirement.

The only xeons you will find under $10 are lga771, 1366, or 1567 or possibly even older ones then that.

You can find 1366 cpu like the w3530, or w3550 for under $15USD, a non-oemmotherboard x58 motherboard is about $100USD though.

 

This is the case for pretty much any older xeon with respectable performance; the cpus are cheap, the motherboards are expensive.
