Hi
First, I want to buy a new processor for my computer but I don't know what my motherboard is compatible with. I would like some help finding the best processor I could buy for Gaming under $230?
Second Question,
My cousin is looking to buying a laptop for gaming but he only has $675 to spend.
What would be the best bargain he could get?
Thanks alot
