Wanting to switch to an Intel i7, need help finding one.
Darth C3P0²:
So, this is gonna be a bit tough.
I am going to talk to my brother soon about getting a better CPU, and before I do that, I want to find one first. I am looking for any one under $400, has 4 cores, and is compatible with the LGA 1150 CPU socket. Anyone know any sites that sell them brand new in that range? I checked Amazon and eBay but I only found either used or incompatible (socket-wise) CPU.
TL;DR:idk why you wouldn't just read it.

newegg might be worth looking at

all of the i7s with that socket seem to be 4 cores 8 threads

this is the last one, under 400 4.0ghz, K edition is ready to clock

Why does that cost so much more than the i7 7700k

i think most of the 1150 socket cpu are out of manufacturing, and the remaining new cpus for that socket rise in price as people look to upgrade their systems without upgrading mobos
