What is the best CPU for Motherboard GA-H61M-S1

[Nemezis1313]

I want to buy a new CPU but i don't know what is the best CPU for MB GA-H61M-S1.
Can somebody give me a suggestion?

Well, if you don't take into account how obscenely expensive it is, and the fact that it would be cheaper to get a new motherboard and upgrade to the current socket than get this, the i7 3770K sits at $500 according to pcpartpicker.

you can always check the supported cpu on the brands website

cpu support list for that board is here:

Grab a i5 3470/3570/2500 or i7 3770/2600 from a used market like ebay, should be a fairly cheap upgrade.

Thanks for the info.
Archgaull I think you are right. Maybe I should buy new MB and upgrade.
Got to think about it.
Again thanks to all.
