Hey everyone,

I recently acquired an Alienware Area 51 atx case, with a "alienware intel x58 atx motherboard."
Im planning to build this up but im looking for a CPU for this.
I dont really have a price range as im building this for 3D modelling and rendering etc and ill just save up till i have enough. Not so much games, but it would be nice of course, by 3D modelling/rendering first.

Not going to lie, i know enough about computers, specs and how to build them etc, but im terrible at picking the right thing, so its why im hear to get some advice from some people that know better than me.

So just rattle some things out at me, Im assuming its gunna be an Intel CPU.

Thanks in advance for any help, would really be appreciated! thank you guys and girls :)
 


I'm not sure which part you don't understand.
Dell bought Alienware many years ago. 2005 I think it was.
Cpu support is not only dependant on socket type but by bios support as well. Manufacturers, like Dell & HP, typically code their bioses to work with only the cpu's they intend to bring to market on that motherboard.
