Every motherboard has a support site with a list of supported CPU's.

Some CPU's require a newer version of the BIOS (simply update to latest if unsure).

*So don't worry about what the G2020 is, and simply concentrate on the motherboard and look for the best CPU in your price budget such as at pcpartpicker.com

Example:

List of supported CPU's for Z77 Sabertooth:
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/HelpDesk_CPU/

*Best CPU is one of i5-3570, i5-3570K, i7-3770K depending on budget and if motherboard supports overclocking. (availability and pricing may be problematic...

i5-3470 will Turbo up to 3.6GHz so is fairly good.

Cant really do that with a pre build PC because they have no BIOS so i can not update it no matter what i can do from what HP said when i called them. And i am buying a i5-3570 for $50 almost brand new from my good friend.
