Current Mobo:
MSI H110 Pro-D (ms7996)
Current CPU:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.3 ghz, 3312 mhz, 2 cores, 2 logical processors
I want to upgrade to a new processor and i have limited experience choosing one with an existing mobo. PC typically used for gaming. Was thinking intel 6 or 8 cores. Not sure which model. Not sure which generation. Was hoping I could get a cpu which wouldn't need a bios update as that seems a scary task for a layman. Looking to spend around 300-400 USD. Any suggestions? Is it wrong to feel intimidated by a bios update? Is there such a thing as a "plug and play" cpu for any given motherboard?
