I actually have to build a new computer (edit changed it from previous word used lol) ... The last time I had built mine was in 2013 with an Asus i7which lasted quite a while until the whole Windows 11....non compatibility.....

Now to look at socket type and see if my. Old casing can take it and yada yada ....

I don't want to go the laptop route since I still prefer desktop for gaming than laptops....

sorry I'm being a douche

"cpu" sometimes refers to the processor chip which goes on the motherboard

Oh man.... I'm so tired I didn't even see my mistake 😂 your not a douche, your just calling out a blunder on my part lol thanks! I corrected it.

But yeah.... I ma looking at the specials for motherboards and CPU and.... Wow it's going to br a pain to rebuild a computer.... Since I usually like doing it myself

I had one built by a computer repair place when I was in college - they did great and it had a fun case with lights

These days I'm too far out of the loop to get good prices or anything so I bought a laptop from Acer, here is the link

They offered a payment plan, 3 payments over 3 months with 0% interest

I look at everything that will be necessary for a new build since I already have a computer so... If I don't have to get a new case, great, if an adapter on my Fan can be fitted for the the new socket type... Great
