Hello i need to ask where to find a older Cpu for a MB Asus H81M-K that has 8gbs of ddr3 1600 ram 2X4gb sticks ? Right now it has a Intel G3258 3.2 Cpu and Was told to Upgrade it to a Intel I5 cpu but dont know where to Look for a Used one ? Ebay or ? It has a 650 power supply with a Gtx 770 2gb and a 240 SSD and 1 terabyte HD Blue Western digital and Windows 10 64bit . Any help or Links to a Better Cpu would be good Todays Newer Intel Cpus cost too much. This is for Gaming like Overwatch Rainbow 6 siege,Mechwarrior online Gta 5. Thanks will wait for a good Info !

Pick the one you want and check to see if it is on ASUS mobo CPU support list. If yes, then it will work.
Go here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H81MK/HelpDesk_CPU/ to fine the CPUs that the board supports, then go to eBay to find the CPU you want (as an example: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l2632.R2.TR8.TRC2.A0.H1.Xi5-44.TRS0&_nkw=i5+4460&_sacat=175673)
 


Ok i went checking for I5 1150 cpu on ebay and will most or all of these work ? :
