Wtb: Intel i7 9th gen

[jfnirvana292]

My son just upgraded his video card in his pc but now the cpu is the bottle neck. He has a i3 9th gen cpu and is looking for an i7 to get by. He doesn’t have a high budget so please post what you have. Thank you!

Edit: his motherboard is a

I’m not to up on the 8th gen cpus. But I’m guessing it’ll be significantly better than his i3.

Looks like that board should run 8th and 9th gen. I may have an i5 9th gen if I can track it down.

I didn’t realize that. Wonder how much better the 9th gen i5 would be

I looked, I can’t find it but you may be able to find an 8th or 9th gen on here. Definitely opens up your options.

I’ll look in the office tomorrow but I’ve likely misplaced it.
