Question New to pc building

[THISISASTICKUP]

I was curious if anyone would be able to help me figure out what cpu to get for my system? I dont know that much about computer stuff, so one of my buddies told me about this site and i figured id check it out.

Do you have part of a system already or do you need an entire build?
If you have part of a system then tell us the make and model of the parts. Motherboard being the most important.
If you need an entire build then I prefer to know your budget and how you intend to use the computer.

It depends what motherboard you have, what your budget is, and what kind of things you are going to be doing with your computer.

https://pcpartpicker.com/ is a great site to find the best prices for stuff and sort out your builds there. there is a built in compatibility check that can tell you if some things you choose aren't compatible (don't depend solely on this though). however, to decide what cpu you want to get, there are a lot of factors to look at. what is your budget? what motherboard are you getting or do you already have? what do you want to do on your pc?
