Question Compatible CPU for HP 8200 elite

[JoshTehNoob]

Hey guys! First of heres my cheap build

I5 2400 cpu
Aerocool cylon 500w psu
Hp 8200 elite motherboard
10gb ram
Rx 480 4gb

So I just found out that gpu is being bottlenecked by my cpu. Now i want to replace my cpu. Can you guys recommend cpu's compatible with my motherboard? Or recommend solution

Unless you can find an Intel Core I7-2600 for real cheap (read "free"), you have one of two options:

1. New Build
2. Forget about the bottleneck and enjoy your system

Is i7 2600k compatible?

 

[logainofhades]

Looking at options, that system had available to it, I would say no, on the 2600k.

I Tend to agree with @logainofhades. There are no "K" series processors listed in the description, so I would say no. The 2600K would not be compatible. However, searching Google, I am finding some pages which state the 2600K is installed. How trustworthy they are, I can't say.
