After considering multiple factors, such as price, compatibility, threads and cores, and unlocked multiplier, and comparing various processors based on these factors, we came up with a list of CPUs ...

You’ll need to verify that the CPU and motherboard you’re using are compatible so that they’re using the same socket (LGA 1700 or AM5, for instance) and that your motherboard supports the CPU.

However, you’re not short on options with the LGA 1155 socket as it encompasses two whole generations and one full tick-tock cycle of Intel CPUs, so there's tons of compatible hardware to check out.
