    I actually have to build a new computer (edit changed it from previous word used lol) … The last time I had built mine was in 2013 with an Asus i7which lasted quite a while until the whole Windows 11…non compatibility…

    Now to look at socket type and see if my. Old casing can take it and yada yada …

    I don’t want to go the laptop route since I still prefer desktop for gaming than laptops…

        I look at everything that will be necessary for a new build since I already have a computer so… If I don’t have to get a new case, great, if an adapter on my Fan can be fitted for the the new socket type… Great

          sorry I’m being a douche

          “cpu” sometimes refers to the processor chip which goes on the motherboard

              I had one built by a computer repair place when I was in college - they did great and it had a fun case with lights

              These days I’m too far out of the loop to get good prices or anything so I bought a laptop from Acer, here is the link

              They offered a payment plan, 3 payments over 3 months with 0% interest
