What to check before buying

Socket and motherboard

The processor socket must match the motherboard. Also confirm chipset support and whether an older board needs a BIOS update.

Gaming and productivity

Gaming benefits from strong per-core performance, while rendering and production workloads can benefit from more cores and threads.

Power and cooling

Check real power requirements and choose a cooler that supports the socket, heat output and available case clearance.
