Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

We are the gamer community, we should take care of each other !

The 3rd gen i7s are still good, and I believe those are compatible with 2nd gen boards. Otherwise, what's your budget? Do you mostly game? 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

If you really want to upgrade then try and find a used i7 2600 or i7 3770 on Ebay.

The board i have is compatible with 2nd and 3rd gen. I mostly game. Had a Saphire HD 7950 3gb before but that was old too so needed a 1070 since I was able to get it for 250. As for budget, not sure. If I can find used i will. Found an i5 8400 for 120 used but idk how I feel about that being used. Any previous experience buying CPUs used?

the i5 8400 is not compatible with your motherboard 

try finding an i7 3770 or the 3770k for cheap

Used CPUs are almost always good. I've had a great experience getting all my parts second hand, so an eBay CPU won't do you wrong
